The PC that I have Fedora Core 6 on does NOT have a DVD drive. It only has a CD drive. I already have FC6-X64 and wish to upgrade to F7-X64.

I do have two hard drives on the Fedora PC, one is LVM of 120Gb and the other is an ordinary ext3 drive of 37Gb. Previously, I was able to create CD images for Fedora updates, but now realise that I need to install from the second hard drive (Fedora web site indicates that I cannot create an install image on the LVM drive).

How do I generate the install image on the second drive? Or can I just use the ISO?

Then I need to know the steps to use when booting the Fedora PC to use this install image.

why bother with any of that? you wish to upgrade the existing system to fedora 7? just use yum... install the fedora 7 release rpm and then run "yum upgrade" and off it goes. no images anywhere. double check the fedora wiki about the actual process though, often there are a couple of gotchas or reminders that a worth knowing in advance.

Having read the information on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAQ#he...2274319d8f5b92, I do NOT think that updating using Yum is a good idea. If it goes wrong, which the quoted document indicates is a STRONG possibility, then I will have to re-install FC6 and then buy a new DVD drive to install Fedora 7. That is something that I do NOT wish to do right now. I have another PC to upgrade first.

fair enough, well if you do want to use installation media, just get the boot.iso file, burn a 50mb cd and then install online via http or ftp from a local server or an online fedora mirror. you certainly don't *need* a dvd drive at all.
