lots of usage meters and stuff. will be moving to a linux/xp duel boot throughout longhorns existence.
ok as i have no CDRs and no reliable DVDRs i want to boot off my slave hard disk. can i do this? what file needs to be extracted from the iso's so that the system will boot into the install program.

great i'm downloading partition magic. but how do i know what 'dev/hd...' is called. i've got it booting into the install ok, but i don't know how to find the name of the harddisk i'm booting from. when asked the following, the format is something like
where are the iso images?...
hda1
hda2
hdb
hdc
etc
I don't know of any definite way to find out which hd is your hard drive. It might not even be hd, mine for example is sda (it's a sata). But if you see things like hda1, then it's a hard drive.
ok one 3/4 options i tried (all hdxy) were 'no iso's found' so i could rule them out, but on hd4 of them the installer CRASHED erg. so not sure what to do.
what's 'mounting'
I don't really know what you mean by "no iso found", everything I've installed is from a CD/DVD.
Also sorry, I forgot you were installing fedora. I edited the reply above.
