Greetings, I help out at an Internet Cafe here and would like to install FC3 and/or LinuxTLE on our existing machines, all but one of which which do not have cdrom drives. In the past I made a boot floppy and then installed using ftp from a central machine which served the distribution files. Now there is no floppy disk image with either distribution. I thought I'd try pxeboot, but our machines don't make any provision for booting over usb and won't boot via pxe even after selecting that option as choice 1 in the bios configuration. I assume that is because the bios doesn't know of the existence of the ethercard in each machine. So now I am thinking of creating a dos partition on each machine's hardrive, installing syslinux thereon, copying the FC3 and LinuxTLE vmlinuz and initrd.gz files thereto, and creating an appropriate syslinux.cfg to allow either or both systems to be installed. After the installation I imagine I can make a boot from this dos partition, and thence a boot from syslinux, one of the alternatives offered by grub. Then in future I would need only change the syslinux.cfg and add appropriate kernel and ramdisk files for new versions of linux. So... I need some version of dos for its mbr? That's what I understand from the documentation. Is that really correct? -- John Francis Lee 1/9-10 Thanon Trairat Muang Chiang Rai 57000 Thailand
