Fedora Install from Local Repository (Netinstall)


Good things to remember, testing under Fedora 10:

  1. add "askmethod" to the installation boot string to turn on those prompts
  2. the option for local http/ftp server is "URL"
  3. whatever you give for a URL, the file ftp://host/dirs/images/install.img needs to exist, so if the file is ftp://ftp.example.com/fedora10/images/install.img, the url is ftp://ftp.example.com/fedora10
  4. remember that the resolver doesn't can't guess domains at this point, so in the above example the hostname should be ftp.example.com, not just ftp.
