Chapter 8 . Running Fedora Core and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 285 Installing Without a Bootable CD Drive Unlike earlier Fedora and Red Hat Linux versions, Fedora Core 3 doesn t support floppy disk boot images because the Linux 2.6 kernel is too large to fit on a floppy disk. So if you don t have a bootable CD or DVD drive, you will need to start the install process from some other medium such as a PXE server or hard drive. Command Description linux text Runs installation in a text-based mode. Do this if installation doesn t seem to recognize your graphics card. linux lowres Runs installation in 640 480 screen resolution for graphics cards that can t support the higher resolution. linux nofb Turns off frame buffer. linux noprobe Installation won t probe to determine your hardware; you need to load any special drivers that might be needed to install it. Normally, installation auto-probes to determine what hardware you have on your computer. linux mediacheck Check your DVD or CDs before installing. Because media checking is done next in the normal installation process, do this only to test the media on a computer you are not installing on. linux rescue Boots from CD, mounts your hard disk, and lets you access useful utilities to correct problems that are preventing your Linux system from operating properly. (Not really an installation mode.) linux expert Bypasses probing so you can choose your mouse, video memory, and other values that would otherwise be chosen for you. Use if you believe that the installation process is not properly auto-probing your hardware. linux askmethod Has the installation process ask where to install from (local CD, NFS image, FTP, HTTP, or hard disk). linux updates To install from an update disk. You can add other options to the linux boot command to identify particular hardware that is not being detected properly. For example, to specify the number of cylinders, heads, and sectors for your hard disk (if you believe the boot process is not detecting these values properly), you could pass the information to the kernel as follows: linux hd=720,32,64. In this example, the kernel is told that the hard disk has 720 cylinders, 32 heads, and 64 sectors. You can find this information in the documentation that comes with your hard disk (or stamped on the hard disk itself on a sticker near the serial number). There are also other boot options you can add to the installation prompt to instruct the installation boot prompt how to start the installation. Many of these options are described in Chapter 11.
