I had a similar problem using the installing from the netinst.iso image using livecd-iso-to-disk to copy it to a disk. It turns out that if you specify the "repo=" command then it will only look in that location for install files or something like that. For what you're trying to do it might work if you specify the stage2= anaconda option as well. In your case it would be something like (all on one line): linux stage2=hd:/dev/sdb1:/fedora/linux/releases/13/Fedora/i386/os repo=hd:/dev/sdb1:/fedora/linux/releases/13/Fedora/i386/os/Packages Hope this helps, Richard -- 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
