My wife has agreed to go Fedora and so I want to get her machine up
and
running. She has a CDROM that won't boot. On the FC3 install disk there
is a bootdisk.img file but it is not designed to be used on a floppy but
something larger. I have nothing larger. My machine doesn't have a
burner. I've also run across a command that you are supposed to be able
to use after a boot from a dos disk that is "loadlin autoboot\vmlinuz
initrd=autoboot\initrd.img but I don't see loadlin on the CD and nothing
called autoboot either, however, there is an initrd.img file. Also, the
place I found that said there would be a "dosutils" directory on the CD
and there isn't. Thanks for your help.
