Here is the final grub stanza:

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

/home1 is the label.
It's usual mountpoint is /homes .

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...

I'll use whichever I can get to work.
So far, neither.


I get that it's been frustrating for you, but this is a bleeding-edge distribution which will have some issues now and then. Also consider that you are trying to use a non-standard means of installation.

In any case, there still seems to be a problem with accessing the repo files. I'm not sure what would cause the selinux message you saw.

I hope this /home1 is just a standard partition, without encryption or LVM. Is that right? Whenever I do this, I just stick the iso in the root of a FAT32 partition.
