Hi,

I would like to install Fedora Core 4 onto a laptop which does not have a
floppy or cdrom, doing it via PXE seems to be the simplest option.

Could someone advise how i can configure a bootable floppy image (imz) which
will then give me the option to install FC4 via FTP.

Thanks
Matthew

I should also say that the PXE server is running on windows, so all i really
require information for is how to create the image file.

Thanks
Matthew

Since you mention elsewhere that your PXE server is Windows, be clear. You
need a TFTP server to provide the boot images, and the images are on the
first CD or downloadable on the net in places like
ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core...mages/pxeboot/
