Hello, Is there the way to install Linux Fedora Core 5 as a second
operating system from dvd image (ISO file) on the system without DVD
drive? My current OS is WinXP SP2. Thanks in advance.

I don't think you can ... I'd advise to d/l the CDs that are available
for FC5 and boot your system from that CD. You don't need to d/l all CD,
I think the first CD will enable you to install a basic FC5.

kiryazev,

You can if you would run VMware server on WinXP SP2 and run Fedora Core
5 as a virtual machine.

Virtual Machines can boot from an ISO file as a virtual DVD drive.

Kind regards,
