Installing FC1 via Windows Sharing volume

[Manos S. Pappas]

Hello,

	I'm trying to install FC1 on an Acer Aspire 1703SM notebook. The
machine has an 80GB HD and the allocated partition for Fedora is about
10GB, including swap space (950MB - the machine has 512MB RAM).
Everything goes fine, until the point where anaconda formats the / and
swap partitions. After that, it tries to copy the install image to the
hard disk and always fails with a suggestion of insufficient disk space
(the linux partition is empty).

	I'm thinking of installing FC1 via network. I also have a
desktop WinXP Pro box and I was thinking if it is possible to install
Fedora on my notebook using the shared CD-ROM drive the desktop machine
has. Both machines are linked with 100MBits ethernet connection (no
hub/switch - just a simple "cross" network cable).

	Is this possible and how? If not, is there any other way of
installing Fedora, that would suit my case?

	Many thanks in advance.
