If you already have a running system, do (of course you should change
the wget lines to your favorite mirror):
su -
cd /boot
mkdir fc3t2
cd fc3t2
wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/2.91/i386/os/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/2.91/i386/os/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
grubby --title "FC3t2 installer" --add-kernel=/boot/fc3t2/vmlinuz --initrd=/boot/fc3t2/initrd.img --args='ramdisk_size=8192'
Chris, this was perfect. It works well with VMware (which is where I
have T1 installed). This is the best thing since sliced bread (okay
maybe not, but I learned something!)
