[newbie] ISO help

Is there any way around using a CD 
burner with my downloaded ISO file?

My computer does not have a CDR, so 
the only way would be to extract the files to the HD and work from a bootable 
floppy. I have no idea if this is possible, and if yes, how to do it 
?!

Hmmm….I
just asked basically the same question and I spent the last few hours banging
my head against the monitor trying to figure it out. What you need is a boot disk…the installer will allow you to
install from an ISO on your HDD only on 8.0 (I tried on 7.0). I’m hesitant (wisely, I think) to
attach the boot image and the rawrite utility over the list. You might be able to get it online w/ a
google search. Once you have the
boot disk you will be able to get to your ISO file on your HDD no problem. I did this 5 minutes ago and it worked great.



If you can’t
find the disk online, write back and I’ll attach it to you only.



And if you’re
running windows, there’s a messed up way of working around this with a program
called iso2fcd in combination with a virtual cd rom program. If that sound like something you’re
interested in, I’ll tell you about it after I get some sleep…*yawn*
