The highlighted are links for download. To install fedora core you need the first three iso images, or better to get the all four iso images, from your nearest fedora core MIRRORS or click HERE. First of all heck the iso images with md5sum if you are runing linux,or in windows with md5sum or fsum and compare the output with the SHAISUM from the downlaoded iso's website, and see if they are not corrupt downloaded. Copy the iso images to a directory (folder) for example named iso in a drive,which you don't want to format for the installation (and you can't edit this drive while the installation of fedora core). Copy the isolinux directory from the first iso image of fedora core to the same drive where iso directory reside,how to do it: make a directory for example /mnt/loop and mount the first iso image with this command: mount -o loop /Path/to/Fedora_.iso /mnt/loop In windows you can open the iso image with a archive tool like WinRAR. To start installation you need to boot to the /isolinux/vmlinuz, how to do that? For safety you need to make a grub boot floppy to boot the vmlinuz, to make the grub boot floppy download the hd_grub.img, and write to the floppy,how to write the hd_grub.img to the floppy: Put a new formatted floppy in the floppy dirve open a linux terminal run the command: dd if=/pathe/to/hd_grub.img of=/dev/fd0 For windows you need to download the rawwritewin.exe or for dos rawwrite.exe, rawritten.exe is a nice gui client, to use the rawrite.exe open the dos, run the rawrite.exe and follow the instructions. Edit this grub menu.list for your /insolinux/vmlinuz location: default=0 timeout=10 fallback 1 title Fedora install root (hd0,x) kernel /isolinux/vmlinuz initrd /isolinux/initrd.img x is your partition number where is the isolinux directory, minus one, for example if it is /dev/hda6 write (hd0,5), how to find your patition numbers? In linux simply run the command $df,if you use windows your first primary patition C is /dev/hda1 and your first logical partiton is /dev/hda5 and so on,now you are ready to install the Fedora, make your first boot device the floppy, and boot with made grub boot floppy, you will get the grub prompt, type these (same as menu.lst) one after another followed by enter: root (hd0,x) kernel /isolinux/vmlinuz initrd /isolinux/initrd.img boot now follow the installation instrcutions. If you are runing linux with grub boot loader, you can add the above entry for Fedora install to your /boot/grub/menu.lst,and can boot to the installation process, but one must be carefull, because if of some reasons installation failed then there is no way to start the installation again, unless you make a grub boot floppy. While installation there is option to choose the install from the hard disk, then select the partition where fedora iso images are, and give the path to the iso images directory, for example /iso, and complete the rest of the installation process. __________________________________________________ How to dual boot win xp with linux?
