I think you are mixing two different install methods. There is a netinstall image, that has a barebones Fedora that gets installed, and allows the installation of all other software from the Fedora repositories over the internet. I use this because it is small, and I just install the barebones and some essential packages like vim and such. I then boot into the newly installed Fedora and install what I want from the repositories. This used to be possible to do by installing a small file in /boot, bfo.lkrn, and booting directly from the image that was desired. https://boot.fedoraproject.org/index Unfortunately, as Charles said, it doesn't seem to work anymore. It was great. Just put a stanza in grub.cfg, boot and select it, and everything was downloaded from the internet. No need for media at all. I suppose it just got to be too much trouble to maintain. It doesn't crash or anything, but I think the links are out of date. menuentry 'Boot BFO' --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { linux16 /bfo.lkrn } There is also a net install using a central server for many machines. That is what Samuel was referring to. All the machines are installed using a script and a standard image, pulling everything off the local network instead of the internet. I don't think that is what you want if you were installing from DVD. _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
