FC2 - anaconda - bootdisk creation

[Carnal Ortega]

James,
    I installed FC2 without a bootloader. After installation I booted 
with the CD into rescue mode, chroot /mnt/sysimage and then ran the 
mkbootdisk command. Now I can boot into my FC2 system with the floppy. 
I'm curious, how does this method differ from the past when it was done 
during the installation process?

    You're not the first to cite the size of the kernel 2.6 as a reason 
why it was taken out of the install process but then wouldn't the 
post-install routine w/ mkbootdisk I performed, fail as well? I'm a 
little confused!

Thanks!
