Booting Fedora install with out cdrom drive

[David Bruzos]

Toms:
There is something you can do as a last resort.
You could install the OS onto your harddrive on another machine and then move it to your no-cdrom-machine.  I usually 
install Fedora on one of my computers, configure it the way I want it, and then use "rsync" to mirror the install on my 
other systems.  That way I only have to install and configure one time.  The only thing you have to do is remove your 
/etc/modprobe.conf and your /etc/sysconfig/hwconf files and run kudzu again to properly configure your hardware.  If you 
install "X", then you will also have to change your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to fit your new system.  I am assuming that 
your two systems have different hardware configurations.
