I do follow similar steps as you in mentioned above. 9. The USB device partition 1 will boot and you will be offered an introduction. Follow the instructions and navigate the HDD install menu to /dev/sda2 (your USB device). This will detect your Fedora-8-i386-DVD.iso and boot it. I would like to prevent manual selection/navigation of HDD install menu to USB device in step 9. I tried modifying kickstart file to point to USB device but it still prompts with HDD menu (for the OS image). Appreciate any ideas on how I can get around this. Thank you, Ramki Hi Michel,

It's not perfect but it works. If you don't have a working Fedora installation yet (any version) then you can run the RescueCD downloaded from their website. 1. Download the Fedora DVD ISO 2. Get yourself a 4gb USB drive or USB harddisk. 3. Create two Win95 FAT16 partitions on the USB device, the first 20mb and the second the remainder of the drive. You need to use fdisk in a linux environment. 4. Mark the first partition bootable. 5. dd if=diskboot.img of=dev/sda1 where you downloaded diskboot.img from a Fedora mirror or you extracted the file from the ISO using WINRAR on Win XP. 6. mount the second USB partion. eg mkdir /mnt/u2 mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/u2 7. Copy the DVD ISO to the second partition. Don't DD the ISO, just plain simple copy. I copy the ISO rather than burn it to the USB device because I can keep the bootable partition but change the ISO installation. eg. cp Fedora-8-i386-DVD.iso /mnt/u2 8. Leave the USB device in the computer and reboot; may need to adjust the BIOS on start up so that the boot order recognises it should start from the USB device. 9. The USB device partition 1 will boot and you will be offered an introduction. Follow the instructions and navigate the HDD install menu to /dev/sda2 (your USB device). This will detect your Fedora-8-i386-DVD.iso and boot it. 10. Following the installation instructions generated by Fedora-8-i386-DVD.iso 11. Over to you. Kind regards Michael. Hi

this is the solution for Fedora 8. It’s not perfect but it works. If you don’t have a working Fedora installation yet (any version) then you can run the RescueCD downloaded from their website.

1. Download the Fedora DVD ISO
2. Get yourself a 4gb USB drive or USB harddisk.
3. Create two Win95 FAT16 partitions on the USB device, the first 20mb and the second the remainder of the drive. You need to use fdisk in a linux environment.
4. Mark the first partition bootable.
5. dd if=diskboot.img of=dev/sda1 where you downloaded diskboot.img from a Fedora mirror or you extracted the file from the ISO using WINRAR on Win XP.
6. mount the second USB partion.
eg
mkdir /mnt/u2
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/u2
