Working around it by repairing the installation is doable, of course. I know how to fix firstboot. More interesting is to find out what has gone wrong. And this is what has happened: F14 RC3 installer fails to set up the "Installation Repo". That's where I get a "Device or Resource busy" error dialog. And then it sets up http repos _automatically_. Now, since I disabled updates-testing it retrieved packages from a stale http mirror somewhere in Germany. That's where it got the old firstboot package. Paying attention to it, it becomes obvious, as in the final package customisation screen, the "Installation Repo" is missing, and disabled Fedora 14 base repo is impossible because it will result in a warning. A bug. F14 RC3 i386 DVD iso is broken. F13 x86_64 installer doesn't suffer from that problem when using exactly the same steps to install it. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
