[ale] USB Boot/Install Question

[John Mills]

Thanks, Mike. This is probably the first time I would have knowingly used 
'yum' (apart from it's being built into installers and prompted 
updaters)..

Meanwhile I find that after installation from the FC10 'liveCD' the boot 
logic seems to find my USB DVD. Just magic, I guess.

Quite a beast: two dual-core Xeons, SCSI drives (but small by today's 
standards), _lots_ of little fans. Sounds like a 737 doing its pre-flight 
run-up. Hey, it's just for fun (even if I did have to buy some memory to 
fit it).
