Why on earth does Fedora ten not give me the chance to specify an install Server? I downloaded the network install CD as that's the quickest way to get a portable (between home and office) network install up. I thought.
I have a copy of F10 on my LAN and Anaconda's downloading across the country. This is bizarre. Bad for my install time, bad for my internet bandwidth (1.5 M<bits vs 100 Mbits), bad for my download quota and bad for my Internet Access Provider (who has a copy too!).
Have you tried booting with "askmethod"?
askmethod is a large hammer to use for this situation, though it will
certainly work. Better just to edit the URLs for the repos in the UI.
Saves you the time/bandwidth of having to download the second stage of
the installer as opposed to just using it off of the cd
My point it that _I_ wasn't asked. As Jesse explains, this is by design.
Obvious;y I was napping when this was discussed on the anaconda list, I
would certainly have complained about it.
