Mike, We're getting close. As I said, the mirror is on /dev/sdb1 where the path to the install image is: /fedora/linux/releases/11/Fedora/x86_64/os/images/install.img I think that's *almost* what I need. To get this to run I actually input the path up to .../os/ and let it find the rest. It takes me through the partitioning scheme and to the "Boot loader operating system list" window. Hitting "Next" there generates the following error message: Missing ISO 9660 Image The installer has tried to mount image #1, but cannot find it on the hard drive. Please copy this image to the drive and click Retry. Click Exit to abort the installation. [ Exit ] [ Retry ] Doesn't anaconda know how to mount CD/DVD images any more? They're in .../iso/. Do I need to modify the path above? --Doc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
