This is actually two multiboot systems, one currently only with DOS, openSUSE 11.3, openSUSE Factory, Fedora 14, and Rawhide (the other with more than a dozen installed OSes). The two latter OS were freshly installed yesterday, as there was only Rawhide upgraded from F14 previously, and it refused to give me gettys when the upgrade finished. Because I could find no installation files for Rawhide, I did a fresh minimal 14 install (which BTW had no problem figuring out my TZ on its own), then added various KDE and additional networking, then upgraded to Rawhide.

When will a netboot installation kernel/initrd set be available for Rawhide again? -- "How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver."
