Tim, thanks much for your lengthy reply, especially the detailed steps you use for netinstall. I have zero experience with netinstall, so my prior comments to you probably of little use, if not muddying the waters even more. One thing is really unclear to me: if you cant (or couldn't )access the external usb at all, and that usb is where you have (or had) the dvdiso, it seems to me you can't test whether you have the /images/install.img in the right place or not, and similarly whether your equivalent of my /root/diso has correct leading / or not. OTOH, if you do get access to the usb then you _can_ expect the installer to see the usb first, internal hd second. If instead you move your dvdiso to your internal hd, and keep your usb powered off, then there will be no opportunity for the installer to reorder the disks. Just in case my experience using hdinstall is of use to you, here is specific detaill on location of my /images/install.img [root@f10 ~]# cd diso [root@f10 diso]# ls images isolinux [root@f10 diso]# cd images [root@f10 images]# ls install.img [root@f10 images]# pwd /root/diso/images [root@f10 images]# ls install.img this /root/diso as required, originally was also the location of my f11 dvdiso [I have since moved it out of my f10 system] Jack -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
