Fedora Core is delivered on multiple CD-ROMs consisting of installation CD-ROMs and source code CD-ROMs.
The first installation CD-ROM can be directly booted into the
installation on most modern systems, and contains the following directory
structure (where /mnt/cdrom
is the mount point of the
CD-ROM):
/mnt/cdrom
|----> Fedora
| |----> RPMS -- binary packages
| `----> base -- information on this release of Fedora
| Core used by the installation process
|----> images -- boot and driver disk images
|----> isolinux -- files necessary to boot from CD-ROM
|----> README -- this file
|----> RELEASE-NOTES -- the latest information about this release
| of Fedora Core
`----> RPM-GPG-KEY -- GPG signature for packages from Red Hat
The remaining Installation CD-ROMs are similar to Installation CD-ROM
1, except that only the Fedora
subdirectory is
present.
The directory layout of each source code CD-ROM is as follows:
/mnt/cdrom
|----> SRPMS -- source packages
`----> RPM-GPG-KEY -- GPG signature for packages from Red Hat
If you are setting up an installation tree for NFS, FTP, or HTTP
installations, you need to copy the RELEASE-NOTES
files and all files from the Fedora
directory on
discs 1-3. On Linux and Unix systems, the following process will properly
configure the /target/directory on your server (repeat for each disc):
Insert disc
mount /mnt/cdrom
cp -a /mnt/cdrom/Fedora /target/directory
cp /mnt/cdrom/RELEASE-NOTES* /target/directory (Do this only for disc 1)
umount /mnt/cdrom
Many computers can now automatically boot from CD-ROMs. If you have such a machine (and it is properly configured) you can boot the Fedora Core CD-ROM directly. After booting, the Fedora Core installation program will start, and you will be able to install your system from the CD-ROM.
The
images/
directory contains the file
boot.iso
. This file is an ISO image that can be used
to boot the Fedora Core installation program. It is a handy way to start
network-based installations without having to use multiple diskettes. To
use boot.iso
, your computer must be able to boot from
its CD-ROM drive, and its BIOS settings must be configured to do so. You
must then burn boot.iso
onto a recordable/rewriteable
CD-ROM.
Another image
file contained in the images/
directory is
diskboot.img
. This file is designed for use with USB
pen drives (or other bootable media with a capacity larger than a diskette
drive). Use the dd command to write the image.

---|---|
The ability to use this image file with a USB pen drive depends on the ability of your system's BIOS to boot from a USB device. |
