The installer asks for a partition name and directory. So if you dumped
the ISO images into C:\Fedora and C: was known to Linux as /dev/hda1,
you'd tell the installer to find the ISO images on /dev/hda1 in
directory /Fedora. Simple.

Question: Can an upgrade be done using yum or up2date?
Many thanks and best wishes!
