Launch anaconda via grub?

[wmshub]

Hi. I have no CD-ROM burner, but want to upgrade from FC2 to FC3. I have the FC3 ISOs all downloaded; now, all directions that I can find say that I need to burn a boot CD-ROM that will launch anaconda, which can then read the images from my hard disk and do the upgrade.

But I can't burn the CD-ROM, so here's my question: Is there a way to modify your grub config files (on your hard disk) to add an option of launching anaconda via grub? I can't see why this wouldn't be possible - after all, if it can be booted off of an installation CD-ROM, it should be possible to boot it off of a CD-ROM image on your hard disk, or perhaps a directory tree on the hard disk that has all the same files as the boot CD-ROM.

So, is this possible? How do I do it?

Thanks.

If you have your previous kernel installed such as 2.6.6 or 2.6.7 you can use those to burn because they worked for me.

Hmmm, I'm not sure I understand. The burning problem isn't the kernel, it's that I physically have no CD-ROM burner.

What I need is a way to launch anaconda from either grub, or from one of my installed kernels. Then (if all goes well) anaconda should be able to continue as normal with the install/upgrade process, using the ISOs that I have on my hard disk.

I take back....i miss the "no" part. This may help: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/install-guide/s1-begininstall-hd.html

Yes, what you want to do is possible! I haven't installed FC3 this way yet, but I did FC2 and plan to do FC3 in this way. See the following threads for directions:
