Olaf,
Due to the size of the kernel you won't find a boot floppy for FC2
and please search throught the list archive, this has even been asked
today...
your alternatives are local install from partition
## quote ##
If you have some disk partition which you don't install to, you can do
hard disk installation. Simply, put the ISO images into some directory
on that partition,
cp -a /mnt/cdrom/isolinux/vmlinuz /boot/FC2-install
cp -a /mnt/cdrom/isolinux/initrd.img /boot/FC2-install.img
umount /mnt/cdrom
and add entry like:
title Fedora Core 2 Installation
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/FC2-install
initrd /boot/FC2-install.img
to your /etc/grub.conf, then reboot into "Fedora Core 2 Installation".
During the install choose Hard Disk installation and point the installer
at the partition with ISOs.

or a netinstall
Also please use plaintext when posting to the list...
