Background:
I have a very old computer that is currently running Fedora Core 1. The
computer is a 300mhz PII with 128megs of ram. It does not boot from
either the 100mb scsi zip drive nor the scsi cd. Just the floppy and
and 2 6gig hard drives.

Problem:
The problem is that /images/diskboot.img on the first CD is much too
large for a floppy. With FC1 and all previous versions of Redhat I was
able to kick off the install/upgrade with a floppy. Using the info from
the aforementioned references, I was able to launch the install via
Grub. I need to do a TEXT install because I only havd 128megs of ram.
The problem is that it goes straight into a graphical install. The
option to do a text install is not given.
How do I get Anaconda to give the option to do a TEXT install? You can
see the TEXT install option in the syslinux.cfg file which I copied into
the /boot/FC2install/pxeboot/ directory. Which also did not fix the
problem.
