FYI -- I've submitted https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65811 as I tried mounting the ISOs under the directories documented and anaconda subsequently blew up. As you can see from the web server logs anaconda forgot about looking under disc1....humm, wonder if 'ln -s disc1 RedHat' would fix it? 192.168.1.200 - - [31/May/2002:17:29:05 -0400] "GET /redhat.discs//RedHat/base/updates.img HTTP/1.0" 404 297 "-" "-" 192.168.1.200 - - [31/May/2002:17:29:05 -0400] "GET /redhat.discs//disc1/RedHat/base/updates.img HTTP/1.0" 404 303 "-" "-" 192.168.1.200 - - [31/May/2002:17:29:05 -0400] "GET /redhat.discs//RedHat/base/netstg1.img HTTP/1.0" 404 297 "-" "-" 192.168.1.200 - - [31/May/2002:17:29:19 -0400] "GET /redhat.discs//disc1/RedHat/base/netstg1.img HTTP/1.0" 200 7426048 "-" "-" 192.168.1.200 - - [31/May/2002:17:29:28 -0400] "GET /redhat.discs/RedHat/base/hdlist HTTP/1.0" 404 291 "-" "Python-urllib/1.10" Regards, Chad On Mon, 2002-05-06 at 13:11, Brian K.
