I created a boot CD....but maybe that you have to use mkinitrd to
pre-load USB.In recent days, it was not necessary any longer, but I
mean at least for FC5...Why don't you jump to a more recent Fedora.
If you like I can send you the small file and some
instructions.....(tnx to John Austin, where are you John???)
