I disagree. You shouldn't need to do this - and it make it a right
pain if (as I have) you have an i386 and and x86_64 iso in the same
nfs directory. Anaconda can handle this situation and I suspect that
not being able to do this through the askmethod route will turn out to
be a simple bug.
Chris Lumens of Red Hat indicated in bug 466992 that anacanda can *not*
handle this situation any more. The change was intentional. If you
have your ISOs in the same location, you can specify the location of
stage2.img using the stage2= parameter. It's probably easier to just
keep different architectures' isos in separate directories (along with
images/install.img) though.
Except that this is patently untrue as I have upgraded several servers
to F10 doing exactly this, using the F10 netinstall ISO and an NFS
server serving just the DVD isos. The bug I opened about this has been
closed as NOTABUG.
Can anyone enlighten me as to how this behaviour is better than what we
had before? Is there a benefit to jumping through these extra hoops
that I'm missing? I'm honestly willing to be persuaded, but I can't see
any advantage to these extra steps which are being insisted on.
Simon.
