[For the full story, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=596387] I decided to try installing via a boot.iso disk, so I created a bootable pendrive containing boot.iso and fired it up using the "askmethod" incantation (BTW the docmentation on how to do this is deficient; I'll file a separate bug report on that). I then told it to use the DVD as its repo. At first I got exactly the same error as before, but this time I clicked on the Edit button to see if there was anything worth changing. I looked at the drop-down menu (it offered NFS/FTP, CD/DVD and Hard Disk if I remember correctly). CD/DVD was selected of course, and I didn't change it. Nor did I change the repo name field ("Installation Repository"). On closing the Edit dialogue I then hit Retry. The system started installing. To repeat: I changed nothing at all (I know, they all say that, but it's literally true), but now it worked. On previous occasions I had hit Retry and even the Edit dialogue to no effect, but now the system installed. Maybe it needed time for some bus to settle, or it was the time of day, the day of the month, the phase of the moon, whatever. Or maybe there's a Heisenbug in Anaconda. Right now, I'll believe anything but F13 is now installed on my system. poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
