1.1 Foreword:
I have recently downloaded Fedora2's ISO file, ready to install, but there is no floppy drive, too lazy to make a start CD (requires a burner). There are only WinXP systems on the machine. It seems that the hard disk is installed is a better choice. Remarks 1: The method of detailed explanation here is suitable for installing Fedora2 under various WindoS version systems (including DOS, WIN95, WIN98, NT, Win2000, WinXP ...) with ISO files with ISO files, is not limited to WinXP systems. Remark 1: If your system has a low version of Linux (such as redhat9, fedora2, or other), you will save more, there are many documents to refer, here you don't have to talk more, if you have any questions, first go to the network Looking for, of course, you can also give me the software required for e-mail ... 1.2: 1> Fedora2 four ISO files. 2>
GRUB_FOR_DOS-0.2.0PRE12 (GRUB tool under DOS). This is only. 1.3 Prepare the installed VMLinuz and Initrd.img files: 1> Copy the downloaded ISO file to a hard disk partition (for example, E: /), pay attention to the hard disk partition to be FAT or FAT32 format. 2> Get two files in VMLinuz and Initrd.img in FC2-I386-Disc1.iso (first ISO file), which are used to install FC2. Suppose you put these two files in a directory of the same hard disk partition in the ISO file (for example, E: / boot /). 1.4 Install grub_for_dos and prepare menu.lts file: 1> Download GRUB_FOR_DOS-0.2.0PRUB020P.zip by the following URL. NET/Dosware/grub/grub020p.zip downloads grub_for_dos-0.2.0pre12 software. 2> Unzip the software and copy the GRLDR file to the C: / directory (ie, the Windos system drive the root directory), and in C: /
Boot.ini adds a line: c: / grldr = "start grub". Note: This method is adapted to Windows NT / 2000 / XP, for Win98 and below, you can run Grub.exe directly. 3> Write a menu.lts file (GRUB file determines the location of VMLinuz and Initrd.img by this file to load the FC2 installation process). The content is as follows: Title Fedora 2.0 setup root (HD0, 6) kernel / boot / vmlinuz root = / dev / hda7 initrd /boot/initrd.img Note: Modify the relevant parameters based on your own VMLinuz and Initrd. The file is best in the same directory with GRLDR, and GRUB will automatically find the file. 1.5 Restart the system to turn on the installation process: 1> Restart the system and select Start GRUB. 2> If everything goes well, you will enter the FC2 installation process. 3> Note Select the location where the ISO file is installed and correctly selects from the hard disk. 1.6 Conclusion: Everything is everything is the option in the Text installation mode. Pig, your good luck! :)
