Fedora Install Problem (No bootable CD or other device)

Hi,

I am having trouble installing Fedora on a particular laptop.

This machine has no CD drive or floppy. (also - I don't have an external CD drive or USB storage device). There is no means to externally boot this machine. The only external connection is via network.

It currently has a very old version of linux installed (over 3 years old) and I can't figure out how to install a new version (I have been trying to figure out how to install Fedora Core 4).

Any suggestions ??

Cheers,
Talei.

Maybe a 'network' boot? Example other than that, I dunno. Maybe one of the smarter fellas can help you.
