    I tried that method recently (it's also referenced from 
http://www.fedorafaq.org/#floppyinstall) however it doesn't work, at 
least it didn't for me.  After it read in all six floppies, it bombed 
with 'Less than 4MB of memory.  System halted' - the machine has 512MB 
in it.

    In the end, since the machine already had RH in it, I performed a 
grub load of the install kernel and went from there.
