asked on

installing Fedora Core via a boot floppy

Hello
I have a toshiba portege ct3110 laptop that has a pcmcia cd rom drive
it also has a usb port where I have a DVD burner connected to.
I cannot make it directly boot off the dvd burner, however if I start from Fedora Core CD1, I can get it to recognize the usb burner and start reading the CDs off of it. The problem is that it says the 2nd CD I put in is not a Fedora Core installation CD.

I am looking for a boot floppy, that would allow me to install the OS from the Fedora Core DVD (not the CD.) via the USB port
Please help.

Just looked at fc4 dvd -- no boot floppy images....

Do you have another machine with a network connection?   I've found install off NFS to be
an effective way when dealing with floppy/CD/DVD issues....
