I thought you downloaded the ISO's and then extracted them on another
machine which was available via FTP.
I did
I think the other responder is suggesting you download the install
tree
using something like rsync to
mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/5/ppc/os
instead of of using ISOs as an intermediate format.
yes, I understand that but my question concerns how to boot. you see if I
boot from the disc I burnt from the ISO (which is screwed) then the
installer will attempt to install the files it knows to be in disc 1 from
the CD, even though I'm doing a network install - which means that even if I
have the right filenames on the ftp site, it won't read them because it
prefers to read from the CD and thus fails.
