Hey,
No, I mean 4MB. Its a boot.iso thats in the image dir of disc 1 of the
FC install CDs. And I dont burn to DVD, but to CD, and I dont think you
can use 3 or 4 floppies to copy a boot.iso to (I could be wrong) but as
I learned recently when I bought my new laptop, a floppy drive isnt a
standard device anymore on a PC (well laptops at least, have to buy a
USB one for this HP if i wanted it), whereas a CD drive is. So I burn
that one disc keep it safe, it boots up the PC I want to install FC2 on,
I provide the location of my FC2 YAM repository (HTTP on my local
network) and it dloads all packages that I want installed instead of
popping in CD1, CD2, CD3, etc. ~10 mins after beginning, Ive got a
complete install of FC2.
You can check out my YAM repository here
