I have just installed FC3 on my Dell C400 which only has a usb cdrom
and bios cannot boot from usb.

I put the iso's on a fat32 partition and used the glbf from
deesconsulting (mentioned on here a few times now) worked a treat
after I got passed the fact disk druid didnt like my existing
partitions (too many primary ones I think) but manual partitioning
/boot / & swap worked fine.
