*Wish To Know The Basics of Installing/Downloading a Fedora
Operating System
*
Hello,
I have the following request:
Background
- I have an Internet connection on a Dell Server (Home
based and being used
as a stand alone machine or a 32 bit machine) having a
Windows 2003
Operating System installed.
Dell Server does not have a very reliable CD/DVD burner. It
can read only.
Do not know much about it.
Want to do the following
a) Download a Fedora Operating System on a folder in the
hard disk. And
transfer it out of this computer to another stand alone
machine which
currently has only a 256 MB RAM with the help of a pen
drive/pen drive
having a 1 gb capacity. Wish to install using the pen drive
after wiping out
the earlier Windows Operating Systems - Win XP installed on
it.
Possible?
How?
Step- By -Step please.
Thanks.

buy a reliable DVD burner (necessary these days Sony $50)
download Fedora 9 for your computer type 32 or 64, 686?
check sha1sum
burn the dvd
reboot to the dvd
if you can boot to the flash memory stick (4+ gig) no need to burn the dvd.
I just saw a Corsair 64 gig at Fry's electronics for $139
32 gig going for less
