DIRECTORY ORGANIZATION

Fedora is delivered on one or more CD or DVD ROMs.

The first installation CD-ROM can be directly booted into the installation on
most modern systems, and contains the following directory structure (where /mnt
/cdrom is the mount point of the CD-ROM):



/mnt/cdrom
  |----> images                -- boot and driver disk images
  |----> isolinux              -- files necessary to boot from CD-ROM
  |----> Packages              -- binary packages
  |----> repodata              -- repository information used by the
  |                               installation process
  |----> README*               -- this file
  |----> RELEASE-NOTES*        -- the latest information about this release
  |                               of Fedora
  `----> RPM-GPG-KEY*          -- GPG signature for packages from Red Hat



The remaining Installation CD-ROMs are similar to Installation CD-ROM 1, except
that only the Packages subdirectory is present.

The directory layout of each source code CD-ROM is as follows:


/mnt/cdrom
  |----> SRPMS                 -- source packages
  `----> RPM-GPG-KEY           -- GPG signature for packages from Red Hat



If you are setting up an installation tree for NFS, FTP, or HTTP installations,
you need to copy the RELEASE-NOTES files and all files from the Packages
directory on discs 1-5. On Linux and Unix systems, the following process will
properly configure the /target/directory on your server (repeat for each disc):

 1. Insert disc

 2. mount /mnt/cdrom

 3. cp -a /mnt/cdrom/Packages /target/directory

 4. cp /mnt/cdrom/RELEASE-NOTES* /target/directory

    cp -a /mnt/cdrom/repodata /target/directory

    (Do this only for disc 1)

 5. umount /mnt/cdrom

INSTALLING

Many computers can now automatically boot from CD-ROMs. If you have such a
machine (and it is properly configured) you can boot the Fedora CD-ROM
directly. After booting, the Fedora installation program will start, and you
will be able to install your system from the CD-ROM.

The images/ directory contains the file boot.iso. This file is an ISO image
that can be used to boot the Fedora installation program. It is a handy way to
start network-based installations without having to use multiple diskettes. To
use boot.iso, your computer must be able to boot from its CD-ROM drive, and its
BIOS settings must be configured to do so. You must then burn boot.iso onto a
recordable/rewriteable CD-ROM.

Note

The ability to use this image file with a USB pen drive depends on the ability
of your system's BIOS to boot from a USB device.
