On the test machine, partition sda5 contains an ext3 fs and several subdirs to hold the ISO images for various distributions. Fedora 14 Beta RC3 i386 DVD ISO was put into /14 and a copy of the 'images' directory placed at /14/images: # mount /dev/sda5 mnt/1 -o ro ; ll mnt/1/14 ; umount mnt/1 total 3569928 -rw-rw-r--. 1 root root 726 Sep 21 18:56 Fedora-14-Beta-i386-CHECKSUM -rw-rw-r--. 1 root root 3616593920 Sep 21 21:45 Fedora-14-Beta-i386-DVD.iso drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Sep 21 22:15 images -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 31546058 Sep 21 05:01 initrd.img drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Sep 23 18:06 mnt -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 3868064 Sep 21 05:01 vmlinuz Files vmlinuz and initrd.img are copied from the 'isolinux' dir and are booted with GRUB in MBR. After choosing hard-disk as installation source, I point Anaconda at /dev/sda5 and path /14, and it happily loads and starts the graphical installer. This has worked fine with Fedora 13 (and various older dist releases). -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
