This directory contains image files that can be used to create media capable of starting the Fedora Core installation process. The boot.iso file is an ISO 9660 image of a bootable CD-ROM. It is useful in cases where the CD-ROM installation method is not desired, but the CD-ROM's boot speed would be an advantage. To use this image file, burn the file onto CD-R (or CD-RW) media as you normally would. While most present-day computers are able to start the installation process by booting directly from Fedora Core CD #1, some hardware configurations require the use of boot and driver diskettes. If your hardware requires boot and driver diskettes to start the installation process, you can create them using the image files in this directory. To create boot and driver diskettes from these image files, follow the instructions in the Fedora Core Installation Guide, Chapter 1, under the section entitled, "Making an Installation Boot Diskette." All installation methods must use a boot diskette created from the following image file: bootdisk.img - primary boot image for all install methods A driver diskette will be required for installation types other than those using ATAPI CD-ROM drives or ATA (also known as IDE) hard drives. The following driver diskette image files are available: drvblock.img - Supplemental Block Device Drivers drvnet.img - Supplemental Network Drivers pcmciadd.img - PCMCIA Driver Diskette
