It also most probably applies if you have a NIC and don't switch it off, but you don't have the physical connection to it. We don't really have any offline installation criteria AFAIK. I believe this is undoubtedly a blocker, but I'm not sure which milestone. Let's discuss. Discussed at 2012-09-05 blocker review meeting. Accepted as a blocker as a conditional infringement of criterion "The installer must be able to complete package installation with the default package set for each supported installation method", in the case that you have no network connection - the 'default package set' install would fail for DVD or live install. We did note that an explicit criterion for offline install may be a good idea. This should be fixed in master. anaconda-18.6.6-1.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/anaconda-18.6.6-1.fc18 Package anaconda-18.6.6-1.fc18: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 18 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing anaconda-18.6.6-1.fc18' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-13611/anaconda-18.6.6-1.fc18 then log in and leave karma (feedback). I tested F18 Alpha RC2 - DVD and Live, with and without NIC - in VM. The installation now works offline. 18.6.7 went stable, so closing this. anaconda-18.6.6-1.fc18 has been pushed to the Fedora 18 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
Created attachment 609307 [details] offline installation prohibited Description of problem: See attached screenshot. This is what happens if you either 1) don't have any network card or 2) go to the Network spoke and switch off the ethernet card (I don't have any more cards) The installation can't continue even though I have all the packages available on DVD. I also made sure I checked "Don't install updates" checkbox, didn't help. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 18 Alpha TC5 anaconda 18.6.4 How reproducible: always
