Example: # ls /root/mnt/1/16 Fedora-16-Beta-x86_64-CHECKSUM initrd.img vmlinuz Fedora-16-Beta-x86_64-DVD.iso updates.img That's /dev/sda8 mounted on /root/mnt/1, so when installing Fedora 16 Beta I let GRUB boot the vmlinuz+initrd.img with repo=hd:/dev/sda8:/16 and no askmethod arg. /16 is the directory that contains the DVD ISO image and any optional updates.img as sometimes provided by Anaconda devs. > Hi, Chuck, > > Since this is still no F16 release documents, so maybe the old release not > does not work.
