Normally, you can’t install Fedora from your floppy drive, because the new 2.6 kernel in Fedora is too big to fit on a floppy. If you have no CD-ROM drive at all, there is a way to start the Fedora Core installer using several floppies. If you have a CD-ROM drive, but you can’t boot from it, you can use Smart Boot Manager to work around that. (Thanks to Mohan Embar and many others for the info on the floppy install! Thanks to Charles Curley for reminding me about Smart Boot Manager.
