I've just talked to wwoods about this and sent a mail to docs@. When doing a direct kernel boot (e.g. PXE) you have to specify either repo= or stage2= , pointing to a repository with a stage2 file in it - i.e. you point to the directory with a .treeinfo file, and a subdirectory LiveOS with a file squashfs.img in it. If the repo you're pointing to is a complete one - i.e. it also has packages, all the packages you need for the install you're doing, and you want to use it as the package repo - then use repo= . If the repo you're pointing to for stage2 is a skeleton that only contains squashfs.img (in the correct layout, of course) and you want to pull the packages from somewhere else, use stage2= to point to the stage2 repo and either leave repo= out (in which case anaconda will use the default mirror list repos, as usual) or specify both stage2= and repo= . If you specify both, anaconda will pull stage2 from the 'stage2=' repo and packages from the 'repo=' repo. We're not sure anyone's actually tested the stage2= parameter functionality, so if anyone wants to test that, please do. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
