There is currently version anaconda-14.20-1.fc14 in updates-testing but I seem to be the only one who has tested it ( At least according to bodhi comments) . It would be nice if this could be pushed into the main f14 repo so that it is included in the F14 builds ahead of release. I tested tc1.1 for a DVD install, but this still has the previous version of anaconda in it. If anyone wants to test the new version of anaconda from updates-testing it may be useful if I detail what I did to test it for an install. Then others could do something similar. I used a usbkey for install but other methods could adapt the same basic idea and would be good to test an alternative method. I downloaded the tc1.1 DVD iso from http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/14.TC1.1/Fedora/i386/iso/ as well as the boot.iso from http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/14.TC1.1/Fedora/i386/os/images/ Then I used the script from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Bcl i.e. the file "upd_bootiso" referenced from that web page, and executed it with the new anaconda rpm downloaded from a mirror for f14 updates-testing so that a new boot.iso was written containing the new anaconda. This gave a file new-boot.iso in /tmp/ which I renamed back to boot.iso to be used as the test install file. What I then did was to prepare a usbkey for the install in an f13 system, plugging in the usbkey and then executing as root: umount /dev/sdb1 (since my key was sdb) Then livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr path-to/boot.iso /dev/sdb1 prepares the key as a bootable device - ready to boot the new boot.iso The last stage was to copy the DVD iso onto the key as well. To test I booted from the key and this initiated the install onto the laptop using the new version of anconda (and checked on screen as the install began)- it then referenced the DVD iso on the usbkey - the only watchpoint was to switch the writing of grub onto the MBR of the internal HD rather than the default /dev/sdb by selecting "Switch Device" at the bootloader settings screen, and swapping the setting of first and second BIOS drive so that grub goes onto the MBR of /dev/sda rather than /dev/sdb The install for me was then uneventful and completed normally - and I have added a comment in bodhi with positive karma. If anyone else can run a test then presumably with karma +2 the new anaconda package would get used in the next compose for rc ahead of GA? Would be nice if someone else could test for an install. -- mike c -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
