Rebuild a FC4 CD!

[_kal_]

Hi ppl!

I'm wondreing if it's possible to "rip" the anaconda installer from the FC4 DVD and build a MiniCD (bootable) with just anaconda to do a nfs install. I'm always make nfs installation and it's dommage to loose a DVD-R for that

Excuse my poor english, i'm french

You can use the boot.iso file from the images directory on the first cd.

I think you can create MiniKick CD with NFS for FC4 using my article.

Yes!
Check out the README file in the images directory

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.

The diskboot.img file is a VFAT filesystem image that can be written to a
USB pendrive or other bootable media larger than a floppy. Note that
booting via USB is dependent on your BIOS supporting this. It should
be written to the device using dd.

Ok i will use it later to make a unattended installation of my Fedora, it's very usefull. Good job dud
Thanx a lot mndar, that's all i was looking for

However, my objectiv is in fact to make a livecd with :
1/ Gentoo 2005.0 LiveCD
2/ Debian Sarge Netinstall 3.1r0a
3/ Anaconda Installer (for FTP/HTTP/NFS installation)

I would like to have choice to choose the distrib at boot by specifind the good parameter. Such as :

linux fc4
/or/
linux sarge
/or/
linux gentoo

Do you think guy it's possible ?

Hu, it helps me to make just an installation of fedora with kickstart. It doesn't explain how to set up multi distrib in One cd
