Editing the GRUB entry works fine. Adding "noprobe" (without the quotes) was a non-starter as that causes anaconda not to look for ANY hardware including hard drives. Adding "text" started off a little more promising but didn't get much further. I ended up with an error message that said: "The file createrepo-0.9.5-2.fc9.noarch.rpm cannot be opened. This is due to a missing file, a corrupt package or corrupt media. Please verify your installation source. If you exit, your system will be left in an inconsistent state that will likely require reinstallation." Yikes! After some checking I saw that this was the first package it tryed to download and install so I can still boot into my old F8 system. On <Ctrl><Alt><F3> there was this message: "Failed to get http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/fedora.redhat/linus/releases/9/Fedora/i386.od/Packages/createrepo-0.9.5-2.fc9.noarch.rpm from mirror 1/1, or downloaded file is corrupt. I used another machine to go to this site and checked that the correct createrepo package was in that location and it was. I checked that I could download it. That seems to leave the network connection as the problem. How can I check if anaconda has set up the network correctly? Any other suggestions?
