File a bug for the useless error message? Note that I wasn't actually talking about an NFS install from .iso images -- I was talking about a normal NFS install from the install tree directly. Anyone doing periodic tests of rawhide as the release approaches would surely be rsyncing the expanded tree rather than downloading a full new set of ISO images each time? And then it's a _very_ small amount of network traffic to update that rawhide tree to the final release, instead of yet another full download. -- dwmw2 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
