I have only one x86_64 box available to test installs with. I tried using buildinstall to see if I got a later version of anaconda that way (once upon a time I believe that anaconda on the images was a day behind). My understanding is that I need to run that on the same architecure (at least without learning to use mock) so I used one disk for the simple install (that doesn't trigger the mkinitrd problem with raid/luks) and was going to to use the other for a practice install. Unfortunately when I tried using the new netinst.iso none of the install options applied. The hard drive install expected the images wrapped up in an iso file instead of being available more directly and the local CD/DVD option wouldn't let me do something similar for a hard drive (I figured that wasn't likely to work) because I didn't get to specify a device. The URL and NFS options won't work either as the file isn't available over the network. So I would either need to make an iso image out of the repo or copy the repo (actually just the images, as I have the repo locally on another machine already) and do a network install. It's probably rare that people have the images on the same machine they are installing to, but it might be nice to provide someway to use a repo mirror on a hard drive at some future point. (Not now, I have a lot of other stuff work first relating to installs.) The set of people I would expect this to help are ones mirroring rawhide on their current stable version of Fedora, doing test installs of rawhide on to the same box in other partitions. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
