(i'll test the hardware anyway, after > install.) Since I've reported something similar (with DVD ISO on harddisk) for the past releases, it has been necessary to boot the installer with a repo=hd:/dev/sdaN:/path/to/iso/image argument in order for the installer to find the ISO image instead of loading from Internet. Give it a try, replace /dev/sdaN with the device for your USB stick. -- Fedora release 16 (Verne) - Linux 3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.3.fc16.x86_64 loadavg: 0.22 0.11 0.08 -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test

Did you do the same with < F16 and did that act differently? Isn't it so that a DVD written to an USB stick act as a netboot.iso (and behaves differently than when booting the same image from DVD)? In that case you might want to add "askmethod" at the boot prompt and then see if it offers to install from local media. Personally, I always store DVD images in my network, boot via PXE and then install via NFS (although in F14 something was broken so that I had to unpack the DVD before mounting). -- --Jos Vos --X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 --Amsterdam, The Netherlands| Fax: +31 20 6948204 -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
fedora 16 dvd or network install ?
i've downloaded de x86 fedora 16 dvd install iso so that i'll no longer need the network. during the install, i was asked to configure a wired network interface (which i did), then proceeded to the install. later i've seen that the usb stick from which i started the install (which contains the files from dvd) is not used but instead the ethernet connection is the install source. i've never tell anaconda to install from the internet (but maybe the network repos were autoamgically selected). is this by design? on the other hand, i've noticed that the 3.x kernel freezes often on my x40 thinkpad. is this a known issue? (i'll test the hardware anyway, after install.) -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
