Linux Setup Challange - No VDROM or Floppy

Asked by Helixx in Linux Setup

Tags: floppy, linux, vdrom

OKay here is the scenario - I have a Dual SATA RAID 0 (hardware) server with NO floppy or CD-ROM.  This is a brand new server and can boot from a USB drive.  I have downloaded all 5 of the Fedora core 5 iso's to a Windows XP machine.  I have an ISO unpacker so I can get to the files.  I do not have another machine other than the XP machine which I cannot modify except to load Windows programs.

I want to install FC5 from the iso's onto the new server from a 2GB usb pen drive.
I do not want to buy a CD-ROM or a floppy for this machine.
