Description Holger Urbanek 2007-10-02 08:53:51 UTC

Description of problem:

If you try to do a network-update from the minimal-boot-cd, and your chosen
(ftp) mirror is under heavy load, it quite often happens, that anaconda is not
able to fetch a needed package.
Anaconda then suggests, that you "sould coose a different mirror", however only
the two buttons: "reboot" and "retry" are presented. 
If you are REALLY patient, "retry" will get you through the installation process ;-)
Reboot is specifically warned upon, since it leaves you with an halfupdated system.
So, another button like "Choose Mirror" would really be handsome.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Anaconda that ships with F7 minimal-boot cd

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Do an network-update from FC6 to F7
2. choose a mirror with high load (e.g. the official fedora source ;-) )
3. start away
  
Actual results:
Inconvenient loss of an huge amount of time

Expected results:
Conveniant installation procedure

I am working on this sort of thing right now for F9.  Stay tuned.

This code is now in Rawhide.  Please try it out and let me know if it's working
well for you.  I expect there to still be some bugs.  If so, please open a new
bug report on the specific problem.  Thanks for the bug report.
