Fedora 7 Install ISO

Had the hardest time finding an install ISO for Fedora 7. Seems there isn't one. There's probably an FM that I could have RT'd, but I figured it out on my own. And the way they have done it is brilliant.

Here's how difficult it is:
1. Insert "Live CD", boot system to Fedora.
2. Login as root. (No password... After all, we have physical access.)
3. Click the icon that says Install to Hard Drive.
4. Anaconda will launch in a window, select the defaults, until you get to partitioning:
Choose Create custom layout from the pull down.
5. No package selection: That's done by YUM.
6. System reboots to Firstboot, where we build a user account.


Simple. It cut the install foot print from five CDs to a single CD. Brilliant.
