fedora core 3 installs via floppy...

All,
I need to do an install via floppy for fedora core3. From the looks of ?.img file in the image dir, it looks like the kernel is too big to fit into one floppy? Have any one gotten an install via floppy to work? Thanks.

Hi K.C. Chan ,

The diskboot.img file is a VFAT filesystem image that can be written to a
USB pendrive . Can you boot installation via USB?

The new 2.6 kernel in Fedora Core 3 can't fit on a floppy disk.
You can ONLY install from a CD, hard drive or USB disk.
