Installing FC4 via external USB

[Derrich Hafemann]

All,

I'm trying to install FC4 (x64) from an external USB DVD device. For 
reasons that are too long to explain, an internal IDE device is not an 
option. It has to be external USB for the installation.

I'm able to boot the FC4 installer without any problems. I see that the 
installer automatically loads the usb-storage driver. I choose my 
language, my keyboard map and then I'm prompted to tell Fedora where the 
installation media is located. Here, I choose "Local CDROM". At this 
point, the installer no longer recognizes that there's a USB DVD device 
attached.

The installer then prompts me to choose a driver from the list or to 
provide my own driver disk. Nothing in the list is appropriate, and I'm 
not sure that I need to give the installer a driver that it's already 
loaded (usb-storage).

Is it possible to install FC4 from an external DVD? Have I done 
something incorrectly, or have I missed a step?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Derrich
