Fedora 10 Installation

We're requested to develop programs in Linux in the future. Therefore I've to move Linux in my home box. Becasue the OS used in class is Fedora 10, then I choose Fedora 10 as my first Linux OS. If the VM Ware is used in my old Windows XP, it will get poor performance due to the main memory is only 512MB. So I decided to install the Fedora 10 to physical partitions. Because I don't want to burn the ISO into a DVD, so I've to boot from HDD. Fortunately, Grub4DOS can do this ! My Home Box - AMD XP 1700+ OC 2000 - ADADA DDR400 256MB x 2 - WD 200 GB IDE HDD - ASUS USB Wireless LAN Existing OS : MS Windows XP SP Install Fedora 10 from an Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso in HDD. 1. download GRUB4DOS 2. copy to 3. copy vmlinuz & initrd.img (in iso file, use winrar ro extract them) to somewhere 4. make /images/install.img available during installation stage I'm asking to provide this file... 5. reboot your pc 6. select Grub4Dos from the ntldr boot menu 7. start Fedora boot procedure 8. select installation from Harddisk Customize the software installation menu at this moment, otherwise you will talk longer time to download packages from internet. Or you shall make some modification to make you can install packages from your DVD.
