Bug 89917

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225

Description of problem:
The install guide reads:

"Enter the device name of the partition containing the Red Hat ISO images. There
is also a field labeled Directory holding images. If the ISO images are not in
the root (top-level) directory of that partition, enter the full path to the ISO
images (for example, if the ISO images are in /test/new, you would enter
/test/new)."

I had ISO images in /home/leingang, where /home was the mount point of
/dev/hda4.  At the dialog in question, I entered /home/leingang as the path and
got a message like "/tmp/hdimage//home/leingang: no such file or directory."  I
finally figured it out to just enter "leingang" as the directory.  

The confusion is that /home is a figment of the already-installed file system
and is not present when mounting the partition temporarily to read the
installation images.  But "leingang" doesn't look like a "full path," as the
installation guide suggests.  The required text in this imput is the path to the
ISO images _relative_ to the root of the partition (or its mount point if you
are thinking inside the filesystem).

A short fix would be to remove the word "full."  A better example would be "if
the partition on which the images reside is normally mounted at /test, and the
ISO images are in /test/new, you would enter 'new'."

A longer fix would explain filesystems and mount points.
