It looks like Fedora Core 2 did away with the option to create a bootable floppy disk from the 1st cd in the images directory and then proceed with the install using an NFS, HTTP, or FTP Server.

Does anybody know of any way to create this floppy disk (I don't want to do bootable cd's or USB devices)? I have an NFS server with the media mounted and prefer to just give installers a single floppy disk and have them do the install across the network.

They've removed it and replaced it with an image which you can install onto a usb pendrive.

A good solution is mentioned on page 2.
