Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Severn beta 1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start HTTP install 2.

Bug 101625 refers to a problem rebooting the system - is that the bug you meant to reference?
No, quite not. I meant bug 101265, sorry.
If there are problems with the URL specified in stage 2 (the later part of the install) I do not see us adding support for prompting for a new site. If the loader (initial bootstrap program) is unable to find the stage 2 image at the URL specified there we do prompt for a new site. The site selected has to have a internally consistent set of installation files in the directory layout expected.
