To take this on a mild tangent... One downside of just grabbing the boot.iso and installing is that there is no signature for that file (or the others in the images/ dir of the Fedora os tree. I asked about this on the devel list last week but didn't get much in the way of replies. It seems to me that starting the OS install from a bootable file that cannot be easily verified[1] is a problem that shouldn't exist. All of the packages Fedora pushes are gpg signed, as are the full .iso images. I've not looked at the anaconda source to see if gpg checking is enabled during installation, but I would think (hope) that it would (should) be. Do you see this as a problem Rahul? I think it is and would like to see it corrected but I'm not sure where to take it. I may end up opening a bug about it some afternoon, just so it doesn't go away (assuming there isn't one opened already). I think the boot.iso and other network install methods are really cool and very handy. I would recommend it more often if it weren't for the problem of it not being verifiable. [1] yes, you could download the .iso for disc 1 or the dvd, verify it, then extract the boot.iso from that. But that rather defeats the purpose of having that small boot.iso in the first place. :) -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ====================================================================== Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a rigged demo
