I would say the above, as it matches what you find in the root of the install DVD (packages, GPG keys, other bits used while installing). e.g. http://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/fedora/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/ > 3. releases/7/Fedora/os/Fedora/ ? I would say not, as it's only the RPMs, without the install routine scripts, etc. I'd say the message about "where the installation files reside" is a clue, it doesn't say just "where the RPMs are". Perhaps there should be a README in the right directory, saying that *this* *directory* is where network installs are started from. > 4. perhaps something under the "everything" sub-tree ? That might depends on the mirror. The one I tried looked like the install DVD, albeit with a lot more RPMs in one of the sub-directories. e.g. http://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/fedora/releases/7/Everything/i386/os/ -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ rm -rfd /*^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Huname -ipr 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5. Today, it's FC7. Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
