Stan, It turned out that preupgrade couldn't download the .img because of a firewall configuration issue (ftp is a real nuisance in that way). I tried downloading the .img file manually, but the program only accepts ftp: or http: URIs; no local files. Finally I tried an http: URI and that worked. However, anaconda subsequently failed with an error message to the effect that it couldn't find metadata for anacanda-InstallationRepo file. I am now downloading the .iso file by Bittorrent and later this weekend I will update it that way. ----- Colin Brace Amsterdam http://lim.nl -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/preupgrade-fails-tp20720903p20726436.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
