It was from a physical DVD - with the DVD install iso - nothing fancy - just a straightforward install as I have been doing since FC1 days - this is the first time I have come across any problem doing a standalone clean install from a DVD disk - it looks like it may be trying to activate updates when I was only after a basic install from the DVD (reason is that I was trying to install ahead of the network people amending the local LAN database to include the NIC MAC in the next few days - so until that is done there will be no network access or IP address assigned from DHCP - but getting the install done should have been a time saver in the meantime) Thanks -- mike c -- 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
