(Updated 7 May 2005) A: 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. However, there is a way to start the Fedora Core 3 installer using five floppies. (Thanks to Mohan Embar and many others for sending me that link!

The new 2.6 kernel in Fedora Core 2 can’t fit on a floppy disk. So, you can’t boot or install from a floppy. However, you can install from a CD, hard drive, or even USB disk (if your computer supports booting from a USB disk). If you can only use a floppy, you have a few choices: • If you are upgrading from another Red Hat/Fedora installation, you can see HOWTO: Upgrade to Fedora on a Laptop with no Floppy or CD Drive. (Thanks to Alan Cox for that link.) • If you have a CD-ROM, but you can’t boot from it, you can install Smart Boot Manager on a floppy, and then use that to boot from your CD-ROM drive.
