the f12 dvd contains a rescue cd image? i don't find it in ./images
another thing: in ./images there's a README file which says:
"The boot.iso file is an ISO 9660 image of a bootable CD-ROM. It is useful in cases where the CD-ROM installation method is not desired, but the CD-ROM's boot speed would be an advantage."
however, there's no boot.iso there. still, there is an install.img file, about 116 MB. could this be used to create a rescue cd?

Pass the "rescue" boot option to the DVD or netinst installer.

How do you do that? I can write CDs, but I can't write DVDs, does that still apply to me?
The question "Where's the rescue CD?" is asked every time a new version is released. Why is it not easier to find?
Take care Oliver

Use the above with whatever media you used to boot from for an installation/upgrade.

That should be on an installer boot menu which showed up on your screen. Really not there? Hm, I have no idea how this looks for LiveCD but that is a "rescue" environment on its own.

the rescue option is on netinst menu. also, it is said that the first of
the instalation cd's has it too.
the cd's can be downloaded from mirrors, like this:
ftp://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/fedora.redhat.com/fedora/12/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-12-i386-netinst.iso
choose a mirror close to you.

I see. I thought netinst was a command on a normal system.

Some years ago, I just burned a rescue CD and used it to upgrade. Now I am using preupgrade. Yesterday, preupgrade made my computer unusable. Now I want to try to preupgrade another computer, but I want have a rescue CD first. Rescue CDs as I know them have options such as a network upgrade or go into shell when you boot from them. I don't see that on the live CD. I suppose at least you can boot from the live CD and mount the local drive, though, right?

The way I move to a new Fedora release is to install it on a different hard drive than the one I am using for "normal business". That way making mistakes is okay -- I make a lot of mistakes -- and I can reinstall as desired.
I migrate data manually.
