[Freedos-user] [Fwd] Fedora Core 3 Floppy Installer Using Freedos

[Jim Hall]

I know this is a little off-topic, but I thought it was an excellent and 
elegant solution that uses FreeDOS!  This allows bootstrapping the 
Fedora Core 3 install from only floppy diskettes, without booting from a 
CD or temporarily copying stuff to your hard drive. It uses FreeDOS to 
create a RAM drive, unzips the relevant Fedora install files from the 
FC3  boot.iso (isolinux), then uses LOADLIN to boot into the FC3 
installer. From there, you can choose from a variety of [remote] 
installation methods (NFS, FTP, HTTP, etc.)
