*** Bug 552777 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I disagree. Bug 552777 is not a duplicate of this bug. Bug 552777 does mention in passing that the documentation is not what it should be, but it also describes the failure of the install from hard disk without a "repo" boot parameter. Bug 552777 clearly describes how anaconda fails to look in the correct location for packages. This bug only complains about the documentation. This bug does not mention how the "repo" boot parameter is necessary. This bug does not mention that anaconda, by default, looks in the wrong place for the package iso. Thanks very much Edwin for the helpful and thoughtful feedback. I've implemented fixes for the specifically problematic areas that you identified, along with a more general re-shuffling of some of the preliminary parts of the guide and a few more explicit pointers at various stages to act as guideposts for people jumping straight into the middle of the guide. Hopefully, it's a bit better. These changes will be visible the next time that we republish the guide. Thanks again for your help, and please revisit the bug if you think we can do better! :) Cheers Ruediger |
