I've tried installing Fedora-17 in two ways using a USB stick. First I installed the DVD.iso on a stick with Fedora LiveUSB Creator. This seemed to work fine and installed all the packages asked for, remarkably quickly, and then booted OK. I installed the new system on /dev/sda7, leaving Fedora-16 on /dev/sda6. The only problem was that there were only half-a-dozen modules installed, which did not include either ethernet or WiFi driver. Both .ko files seemed to be in place, but modprobe did not install them. There was no 70-persistent-net.rules config file in /etc/udev/rules.d . And although /boot/grub2/grub.cfg seemed to list all the old systems, they did not appear in the menu at boot-time. Next I installed the KDE Live CD on the USB stick, in the same way. This seemed to run OK, but again there were only a few modules installed, with both ethernet and WiFi modules missing. I think the only unusual aspect of my system is that I used the old /home partition unchanged. I tried running mkconfig-grub2 in both cases, without effect. I'm going to try netinstall next. But meanwhile if anyone can assist with the two USB installations above I should be most grateful. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- 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 Have a question?
