So is this, for example, after configuring the installation destination or before? Will it even let you into the installation destination menus? >From your earlier message: > have now tried to manually partition, and the installer tells me > "Error checking storage configuration".

It looks similar to this bug, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=854471 which is marked as fixed, if you were able to set up an installer destination did you have mount points specified? -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- 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?
