I'm planning on upgrading from fc1 to fc 2 finally, problem is my friggan usb cdr is giving me major issues(as always). Anyway ive installed from the harddrive before by mounting the iso thru loopback but im a little fuzzzy as to what i do to start the actually instalation process once imount the iso, am i supposed to just restart the box? i would think this would unmount and then just restart , am i wrong ? if im not what steps do i need to take? o_O

You don't have a floppy drive, do you?

yeah i have a a floppy drive. y?

Why don't you perform a netinstall then?

I wouldn't have a problem doing a net install except i can't seem to find a boot image file that fits on a floppy, I've tried a couple sites and have had no luck.

here ya go

im ah a little confused, how is toms robot gonna help me upgrade from fedcore1 to 2 ?

You are right, the images in FC2 are too large. Maybe you got some USB stick? Another option I could imagine would be extracting the kernel (vmlinuz) and the initrd file from the network boot image and put them into /boot. Now you might add an entry in your grub.conf. Should work... [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_ph34r.png[/img]
