Hi everyone,
I am responding to the same version that Nick Dotson was referring to.
Before I installed Fedora version 3, I read the installation that was
specifically for version 2. I don't believe the installation how to guide
have been updated on the web site. Anyone helping in updating the web site
with the latest documentation for installation?

OK, I've the rankest of newbies; and have been depending heavily upon the
list of Janina Sajska and Debee Norling, way too much thus far. I'm a
document
reader, as I do Tech Support for a living and have been doing so since
1985... So, here goes the sharing of the pain!
I've succeeded at downloading all the disks I think I need from the
"linux-speakup.org" site, to the speakup, fedora, discs, current, and
downloaded all of the
disks and put 'em on CD, and can see the files...
The computer I'm wanting to torture with my learning curve is a 500MHz p3
with 1GB RAM, a 20GB drive that's going to belong to Fedora completely, and
lots
of space for more discs for the fantasy things I think I can do with Linux
and want to try to learn to do, both EIDE and SCSI support available. This
used to be
my MIDI box... (grin)
I can pay the cab company $40 for the roundtrip to the computer store, or
try to con some UPS driver or mail person to help me change the BIOS for a
CD-ROM
boot: but I'd rather not! I need precise steps if possible for booting from
the CD-ROM from a "dOS prompt when I've exited 98 to MS-DOS, or, some other
way
of getting the installation started... I have read the Red Hat 9
installation guide, and it refers to running "d:\dosutils\dosboot.bat" but
find no "dosutils" folder on
any of the discs...
Nick
