How to install Fedora 12 through Hard disk?

古兮之

I have a operating system in my computer (Ubuntu).Now I want to install Fedora 12 through Hard disk.How can do that ? I have searched a paper (http://atlantiques.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!DD350B550E1F234D!245.entry).But it doesn't work well that report "File not Exist Error!"
Please give me a hand!

I think that should be easy.there are some steps will instruct you to do it.
step ONE:make sure there is enough free room on you disk(s)?

step TWO:download the dvd image of fedora,move it to appropriate location,and mount(mount -t iso9660 -o loop ./....iso /mnt/iso) this ISO file to the special mount point. change you current path to /mnt/iso,then into the isoimage(I not sure,bad memory).copy the kernel(vmlinuz) and initrd(initrd.img) to one directory(like /boot/new/).

step THREE:after all,they use GRUB for IPL in almost linux distros(I think you know something about grub)，which includes ubuntu and fedora.just append some in the configuration file of grub --grub.conf.that will help the grub to find kernel and initrd(fedora).
the content you append in grub.conf,look like:

title Install rhel5
root (hd0,0)                               --this must be right,it always be hd,although it could be hd,sd,
kernel /vmlinuz ro rhgb quiet     --kernel
initrd /initrd.img                         --initrd

古兮之
