Install options for FC5 w/o CD burner
 
Anybody have any ideas how I can do an FC5 install on my FC4 machine without burning the install images to CD? By CD burner is out to lunch. I have two Windows boxes available on the LAN and I have downloaded the ISOs.

I tried some of the install by FTP, etc. options using the FC4 disk to boot but that did not work - it could never find the install media (I imagine it was looking for FC4 install media, not FC5).

Thanks,
Ray

Extract the iso contents to a free partition. Then either
- make a set of installation floppy diskettes and boot off them to do a hard drive install.
- set up your boot loader to boot the installation kernel.

Or: buy CDR set from ebay or website for a nominal fee (the easiest option, use another option if you want to learn how to do it that way)

There will be complete guides out there, I expect that you can Google as well as I can. :)
