I tried to install Fedora 17-alpha part duh in similar fashion,

I tried root=live, but got
don't know how to handle root=live.
'Twasn't a live CD, so that was not a surprise.
Cut and pasted the update= option suggested in the known issues section,

Pardon me.
I need to go kill something.


I wouldn't recommend that...

As far as "installing without media", I believe your repo= is incorrect.

LABEL= takes a volume label, not a mountpoint. The blkid command will tell you if there is one and what it is. You can set it with GPARTED.

So, if blkid says the label of the /home1 partition is "F16DVD", use

repo=hd:LABEL=F16DVD:/iso16

I would stick with F16 for now. Due to the changes in Anaconda for F17, this gets a bit trickier to do...
