FC4 installation bootdisk
 
I want to install FC4 in my PC from a remote web server. I use the vmware enviroment to install FC4. However, for loading the FC4 intallation the first FC4 CD is needed. I think a FC4 bootdisk can loading the FC4 installation
guide.
Can someone tell me the method to make a FC4 bootdisk?

Thanks!

Can you “boot” from vmware using the FC4 installation CD (or from the FC4 Rescue CD)?

If yes, then enter “linux askmethod” at the initial boot prompt (boot: linux askmethod) and a few questions in you will be given the various installation options, including LAN/WAN options. It will look a lot like the text-based RHL9 installation.

There is also a way to boot the installation kernel from a preexisting linux installation on a system, but I don't know how well that plays with vmware.

Sorry I can't be more helpful, but I have never used vmware and don't know what the “boot” options are.

I have succeed to installe FC4 from my web site. It is similar with the method you
told me. And the FC4 works well with vmware.

I use the first FC4 installation CD to boot installation. But I don't want to use the CD
boot . I know that a floppy bootdisk can boot the FC4 installation. I wonder how to make
the floppy bootdisk?
