I'm not sure what I did wrong before, but finally I moved the Fedora ISO and the images directory to the top level on another partition, and all went well. I actually found the reference above slightly confusing, because it is not clear to me what is meant by "the installation image for Fedora" that is referred to. Does this mean the file install.img or the Fedora ISO? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
