You could begins with something as simple as DOS. connect the HD to your system and boot up with a DOS disk. Then using the Fdisk utility, you can choose to delete the non-dos partition or any other partitions that may be on the HD; once that is done, you can install any OS you want. Please...

Fair enough for me. Thank you all. If at first you don't succeed, reboot!

Well Dang! It didn't work. I downloaded the first CD to my harddrive, the using EZCD I burned to my cd using the burn image option but my system does not see it. I get the same, previous message of missing os. I'll try nero next. If at first you don't succeed, reboot!

Trojan, is there a burning software you recommend for image burning? The program I used to burn these cds at home is called cheeta. The one I have here at work is EZCD creator 5. It does have a feature under data recorder to burn a copy of an image. Would that be the one? If at first you...

The original Daisy Dukes, yes. JS, not at all. Now I got to find out if my cd burning software can burn to an image right? If at first you don't succeed, reboot!

Thanks Trojan. I had to try the other approach just in case someone had gotten tired of my asking so much. If at first you don't succeed, reboot!

This is how I burned these CDs. I went to the site Trojan suggested, Index of ftp://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/iso/. From there I clicked on each of the files to download to my PC. Once download was complete I used a data burning software to copy on to the CDs. The files...

I just tried installing first one set and then the other; both of them give me a screen message of "operationg system missing" Are these not booting CDs? Do I need a special CD or diskette to boot to the installation screen? I change my bios to read the CD Rom first but the message is the...

Thanks Trojan. I went to that site and have now downloaded all 9 files including the recovery cd. Question now is which is is which of the two sets? I mean, there are four iso images for FC3-i386 and FC3-i386-SRPMS. Which set is the one I would want to use? What are the differences? If at...

Great, my client has agreed to go with Fendora Core 3. I had started to download FC4 but now I can't find FC3 to download. Any ideas where to go to download it? I got a fast connnection so that I can have it in my hands tomorrow morning if I have to. If at first you don't succeed, reboot!

Does FC3 support SATA drives? If at first you don't succeed, reboot!

Trojan, I am sure my customer will be doing some file sharing and stuff like that. Baldwin, sorry but I am not at liberty to disclose the project or applications that these systems will be used on. I am presenting these options to my customer now and we'll see what the reaction is. By any and...

Ho, now I'm being asked about versions? Just kidding. I'm downloading FC4 from Fendora Project. I'm on disk 3 now. If at first you don't succeed, reboot!

Ok, walking away from this project is not an option. I see how most every body is so pationate about Fendora. I am currently downloading FC. I got a good connection so I should have it all by the end of the day. I'll sell that pitch to my customer and watch their reaction. Will I need a...

How do you replace the kernel in any systems: that is how do I replace kernel 2.4.x to 2.6.x? I mean,step by step. Is there a site that offers those instructions? If at first you don't succeed, reboot!
