Hi Felix, ----- Original Message ----- > Hey Guys, > > I've been using Fedora on Raspberry Pis for a while now and I love it.

Is there a kernel or anaconda parameter to increase the tmpfs > size? Maybe the 1G of memory is just not big enough to hold the ~470MB > install.img AND have enough left to finish the kickstart. Would it be > feasible to reduce install.img? A network installs need about 2G ram unfortunately. You can use NFS to provide the initramfs using 'inst.stage2=nfs://192.168.X.X:/path/to/install.img'.
