Can Fedora always boot from CD ROM

Hi, All:

A few days ago, when I installed Fedora 2 on a dual boot system, things messed up, after installation, windows cannot boot up, it was an horrible experience. So on next Fedora installation, I do not want to install GRUB bootloader, instead, I wonder if I can let Fedora always boot from a CD ROM ? That is, create a boot CD ROM, everytime, just let Fedora boot from it. (Since I do not have floppy on the machine).

Thanks.

I assume it's just that you would have to burn a CD-ROM that is bootable and includes some bootloader, say Grub, that knows where your Linux installation is (kernel, partition etc.) because that's what you do when you create a bootdisk (floppy)

just make it on cd-rom..and make your BIOS boot first from CD, then from HD.
