While doing research for my desktop environment post I decided to install Fedora Core 3. In my opinion Redhat has always had a clean Gnome setup. My burner has been on the fritz for a few months now so I have been using my iBook for all my burning needs. Well it is also sick so I can’t burn anything to install Fedora. After a bit of research I found some docs describing how to do a Fedora install with the ISOs on a different partition and booting off of a USB drive. This beats the pants off of the old days of switching out 4 different floppy disks. I did run into one small problem. SELinux doesn’t support reiserfs. No big deal. The second problem is the installer won’t allow the partition containing the ISOs to be /. I’m sure they did this so people wouldn’t format the partition that containted the ISOs but the installer wouldn’t let me just assign that partition to be mounted as root.

Tonight I will swap around some partitions and have another go at it.
