Couldn't reproduce this, but I suspect it depends on the ftp server you're using. I put a workaround in anaconda to convert / to /. internally, which should fix this in all cases. |
When using FTP install and choosing a FTP account having /mnt/cdrom as it home it's difficulty to enter the correct "Red Hat directory": 0. Create FTP account `cdrom' having /mnt/cdrom as it home and mount CD1 there 1. Install from bootnet.img 2. Choose FTP install 3. Try to choose "Red Hat directory": - leaving path empty doesn't work ("You must enter a directory") - '/' results in "Failed to retrieve: //RedHat/base/netstg1.img: File not found on server" It's not trivially to find the correct input '.' for 3)...
