The "external" label works fine for RHAS 2.1. Looking at my access
logs, it doesn't seem that the fedora ever tries to fetch the config
file, it just dumps me to a normal install which I can perform over
http. Any pointers?
From syslinux.doc which mostly applies to PXE
" Notes: Labels are mangled as if they were filenames, and must be
unique after mangling. For example, two labels
"v2.1.30" and "v2.1.31" will not be distinguishable
under SYSLINUX, since both mangle to the same DOS filename."
(1) Not sure if the -fc2 is picked up in your second image name.
(2) Try a 'wget' <your fedora url> from the machine in a post install
shell. I think Anaconda gives you wget in the 'rescue' mode (?), ie,
just append 'rescue' to the PXE boot prompt: fedora rescue.
