Am I correct?
Live CDs don't install using repos with rpms; they copy over the filesystems. So normal anaconda is not going to get what it needs from the Live CD media. I haven't tried doing http installs using a live CD, as I typically use the netinst/boot isos for doing that. So I don't know if everything needed for doing that is on the Live CD. -- Fedora-livecd-list mailing list Fedora-livecd-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-livecd-list
