Today I've grabbed a boot.iso and tried to install Fedora on my friends computer. I've decided to install from network since she has got a fast connection. I've found a fast mirror (~500KB/s quite enough for a zippy minimal install) but the problem is that Fedora's installer do not work over proxy :\ and she's got limits - 12KB/s direct connection, unlimited for FTP/HTTP via proxy. Network install would be great but I was forced to download the ISOs (via proxy) since I couldn't setup the installer to work over proxy. Tried expert mode but no dialog for proxy there. Also I tought it would be possible to set the HTTP_PROXY variable from installer shell and then run the installer but there is no shell... I think proxy install *should* be aviable since proxy is very common right now (IMHO it is the best way to limit bandwitch caused by P2P in local network). -- ,--------, |`. .'| Konrad Kosmowski |.'`--'`.| K.Kosmowski@xxxxxxxxxxxxx '--------'
