Since I've reported something similar (with DVD ISO on harddisk) for the past releases, it has been necessary to boot the installer with a repo=hd:/dev/sdaN:/path/to/iso/image argument in order for the installer to find the ISO image instead of loading from Internet. Give it a try, replace /dev/sdaN with the device for your USB stick. -- Fedora release 16 (Verne) - Linux 3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.3.fc16.x86_64 loadavg: 0.22 0.11 0.08 -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
