Silly you still have to extract the images to a hd, why is there no loop.img?
Or maybe just use hd.img, but if an iso is selected as location, the installer can 
mount it quickly?
Doesn't seem to difficult to me?

  Download isobuster, extract the iso images to some dir and install
  from there.
  It works for me (on dual boot with Win98).

I agree that the beta period should be somewhat longer (4 betas and 1 rc), 
but economic reality (and our desire for an up-to-date distro) dictates that 
a release should be made at least once every 6 months.

 Hi I tried with the first and third beta of 8.2 to make the install from
 my hard drive with the hd.img floppy on the first iso. The probleme is
 that it asks for the name of the iso but does not check to see if we
 have another one so the packages start copying and then in the middle of
 the install error messages start to appear saying that a probleme was
 encountered while installing package-.rpm.

 The installer should ask if we have another iso... I think being able to
 install without burning CDs is very important for testing...

 Also I would like to ask the peoples responsibles for the releases to
 take their time, there is no need for a new distro every 6 months... I
 didn't have the time to get the second beta isos that the third ones
 were already available and now I am affraid that the next one will be an
 RC as past times...

 Anyway, have a nice day everybody!

Nothing.

But it is good if you have double boot with Windows, and we have peoples
who are coming to Linux from Windows. Aren't we?
Especialy if the CD is not booting up as it did for me. (8.2 beta 3).

What wrong with that?
