First reboot just led to a black screen. Then I tried a fresh install but leaving the old /home partition. Foolishly I tried setting the system to use additional repos. That caused it to get stuck. Tried again, but now it insisted I must use extra repos - as though it could not find the local installation media - ie the dvd used to boot the machine! This happened twice, so I decided to go back to F11 - and the same thing happened with that. Gave up and went to bed! This morning I tried again with F12 and just let it do the default installation, which worked correctly. Fortunately I had a full backup of the /home folder but it would have been nice if it had just worked... Does anyone have any idea why the install would somehow "lose" the local installation media? Or how this could possibly carry through to installing F11? The dvd drive is only 6 months old and the hard drive passes all its health checks. -- N James Bridge <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
