Hi,
I've downloaded Fedora 9 and burned onto 6 CDs in ISO format hoping to install
on an old PC in place of WinME. I find that the PC won't boot from the CD drive
- probably too old.
How can I proceed? Do I need boot.img? Where can I get it from?
The boot.img you need for a 2.6 kernel has never fit on a floppy. There
are several other approaches, the simplest being a floppy boot that can
proceed to boot the CD. This was the first thing that popped up in a
search but it should work regardless of the OS:

Or, if the PC will boot from a USB flash device you can put the boot
image on that (but if it won't boot from CD you are probably out of luck
there too).
