I wrote the file /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-iso.repo like this: [fedora ISO] name=Fedora ISO $releasever - $basearch baseurl=file:///urrrrk/ metadata_expire=-1 cost=500 enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY Yum will then not download a package if it's available on the DVD image, so most of the data for this upgrade was downloaded through Bittorrent. For some deranged reason Yum complained when the DVD image was mounted on /mnt, claiming that pretty much every package required 8 kB of space on "the /mnt filesystem", so I created a new directory (called /urrrrk) and mounted the image there. I had to remove a few packages to make Yum happy, so it's quite possible that Anaconda could have worked once those packages were gone, but with this method I can at least see *which* packages cause trouble, and it saves a lot of rebooting :-) Björn Persson
