This is interesting....
Where do I specify the 5.2 base repo http url?
This is where I tell you to run the GUI installed, and add the url at
the 'most appropriate place', like when it asks you if you want extra
/ external repos's
OK, I will try this next.
Can I load from the 5.1 install CD, going to askmethod and just point to
the 5.2 base repo URL?
what did you try and how did you fail ? Specially interesting would be
when you tried the 5.1 installer from the 5.2 cd's.
I tried a 'standard' 5.2 install. I booted from 5.2 CD 1of6 and at the
prompt supplied:
linux askmethod (my plan was to select http to access my 5.2 local repo).
The 5.2 kernel was loaded off the CD and promptly got a Kernel Panic.
Thus if were to try and mix 5.1 with 5.2, I HAVE to start the install
with the 5.1 10f6 CD. Then I either point to the 5.2 local repo URL or
point to the 5.1 local repo URL and then supply the 5.2 repo as 'extra'.
I suspect the former will fail as it will install the 5.2 kernel and
that gets the Kernel Panic...
sniff. I REALLY need to get these DecTOPs up and working I committed to
a demo of SIP over HIP at the IETF the end of July....
