Subject: Fedora 3 installation question
Date: Thu, 09 Dec 2004 06:54:54 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041209125130.COQL20686.lakermmtao07.cox.net@NICK2> (raw)
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
