Prerequisites for Fedora 8 network installation:

You need to first install wingrub or grub for dos (see http://www.linuxidc.com/Linux/2007-10/8641.htm); you can manually configure or DHCP to assign IP addresses.

First, install and configure wingrub. The installation process is omitted.

Then modify C: \ Grub \ MENU. LST to add:

Title Install Fedora Core

Kernel (hd0, 0)/isolinux/vmlinuz

Initrd (hd0, 0)/isolinux/initrd. img

Here vmlinux and initrd. img need to be downloaded online, my address is: http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/i386/ OS /isolinux/

After the download is complete, place the two files under C: \ isolinux. If there is no isolinux directory, create one.

Restart the computer and select "Install Fedora Core"

After the instance is restarted, the previous steps are the same as the installation steps on the CD and hard disk.

When "What type of media contains the packages to be installed? ", Select HTTP. (FTP should also be available)

For "Configure TCP/IP", You need to Configure a static IP address or automatically obtain an IP address through DHCP. The prerequisite for this step is that you already have the routing and DHCP services. I am using Shanghai Telecom's ADSL. I have enabled the cat routing function, so that I can configure an internal IP address for the installation to link to the network. In this step, the IPv6 Configuration can be omitted.

Then enter the Web site name and Fedora directory, which are:

Web site name: pai.pacific.net. au

Fedora directory: linux/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/i386/OS/

In fact, there are a lot of Mirror sites available on the Fedora home page: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/8/

After the installation is OK, the installation process is the same as that on the CD and hard disk.
