My first guess would be that you would create a partition and then copy all of the contents of the iso (including the bootable section) to it, restart and boot from it but I don't think this would work. I have already burnt the iso to dvd but am curious as to how this could be done. This will be my first Linux install so layman's terms please :)</font></font></div><div><font face="Arial" size="2">Gareth</font></div>--<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>fedora-list mailing list<br><a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com">fedora-list@redhat.com</a><br>To unsubscribe:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list</a></div></span></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
