Fedora boot diskette

[Gumby1963]

I'm rather new to Linux and trying to learn. I have downloaded the 4 CDs but the dual processor system I am trying to install on dose not support booting from CD. Is there a boot diskette out there for this or am I just not looking in the right places on the redhat site? Thanks for any help to a Linux Newbe.

I suspect a dual processor machine would have boot-from-CD capability in the BIOS settings. You may simply need to change the boot order of the devices.

The floppy boot image is available on disk 1 of the RedHat install disks. If you put the CD in your Windows machine, you should find instructions on how to use rawrite.exe and the boot images to build boot floppies for your system.

Take a look at this:

You didn't mention what distro you got. FC does't seem to support boot floppys anymore. The option you have with FC is flash boot or Boot CD.
