I'm trying to install F-10-preview (as of Nov 6, 2008) on an HP 2133 notebook. I downloaded the CDROM isos and put them on an NFS server. First problem was that we didn't find a 'diskboot.img' file (this netbook has no CDROM, so we're booting off of USB). We used live-USB creator on windows on the net-cd ISO, and that boots. In graphical mode, the video driver is hosed, so I tried to use text. There wasn't an obvious grub entry, so I just edited the default boot line adding 'text' after it. On FC8, when booting from NFS, you could just give it the directory that had the .iso images and it would figure out everything. That did not work in this case: I had to mount loop the CD1 iso and copy it to a directory (_cd1) and specifically use that so that it could find the images/boot.img When that was done, it continued to boot, and gave the option of VNC. I tried that, and it said: "Please manually connect your vnc client to 0.0.0.0:1 ..." It should have given me the IP address (on eth1, perhaps it was looking at eth0?) I found my IP by looking at the dhcp server logs and correctly connected DHCP. After a while, it needed rpms from the other CDs and couldn't find them. I loop-mounted the other CDs and copied the Packages/* files to the _cd1/Packages directory. Still installing, but have to go for now...
