Installing Fedora11 from Hard-disk

I have had Fedora-9 installed since long and wanted to move to Fedora-11. I also have windows xp already installed, Here is how I installed Fedora-11 from the hard disk itslef...

• Booted the machine in windows, downloaded the fedora11 dvd iso in one partition(d:\, its FAT32).


• Extracted images/install.img from fedora archive into d:\images\


• Extracted vmlinuz, initrd.img from isolinux directory in the fedora archive into c:\boot\ from the above iso.


• Downloaded grub4dos-0.4.1.zip and extracted folder grub into c:\boot\.


• Edited c:\boot\grub\menu.lst, and appended following..
  title my fedora-11 install
  kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz
  initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd.img
  


• Extracted file grldr from grub4dos-0.4.1.zip to c:\.


• Edit boot.ini and ..append c:\grldr="Start Linux" at the end with a newline.


• Reboot the machine, select "my fedora-11 install" , on prompt for source of installation select Hard-disk, then select the partition where you saved the fedora iso and then the anaconda installer launches. I like to keep SElinux disabled.

Others...This is the extra stuff I did to start with....

• Added rpmfusion yum repository to get smplayer.


• Installed kdebase package for konsole.
