I use the hard disk install technique which is probably documented around the web in various places (it got simpler with the fedora 15 dvd, since you no longer need to extract an install.img file and put it where anaconda can find it). Here's the /boot/grub/grub.conf entry I just used to install f15 beta in my machine: title Install Fedora 15 Beta x86_64 root (hd0,4) kernel /boot/f15x/vmlinuz repo=hd:LABEL=ZOOTY:/salvage/iso-images/Fedora-15-Beta-x86_64-DVD/ initrd /boot/f15x/initrd.img The /boot/f15x directory is where I extracted the vmlinuz and initrd.img files from the isolinux directory on the iso image, and /zooty/salvage/iso-images/Fedora-15-Beta-x86_64-DVD/ is the directory where I saved the iso image (where the /zooty mountpoint mounts a partition with the label ZOOTY). -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
