DIRECTORY ORGANIZATION

   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 rel
ease
  |                               of Fedora Core
  `----> RPM-GPG-KEY           -- GPG signature for packages from Red H
at



   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 H
at



   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):
    1. Insert disc
    2. mount /mnt/cdrom
    3. cp -a /mnt/cdrom/Fedora /target/directory
    4. cp /mnt/cdrom/RELEASE-NOTES* /target/directory (Do this only for
       disc 1)
    5. umount /mnt/cdrom

INSTALLING

   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.

Note

   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.
