From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: The installer gives some misleading feedback when loading anaconda which makes it appear to be doing a local install even though you've selected HTTP install. I booted with "linux askmethod" off of the first install CD and chose HTTP as the media to install from. I was prompted for a web site name and directory, which I entered. After hitting OK, a message came up with the title "CD Found" and prompted me to test the CD media. I chose to Skip this since I was doing an HTTP install (I had also tested it earlier anyway). It then said "Local installation media detected", which led me to believe it was doing a CD based install instead of HTTP. I let it continue to see what it would do and it proceeded with an HTTP install. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot off of a CD with "linux askmethod" 2.Choose HTTP install 3.Enter the requested information (web site, directory, etc.) Actual Results: When anaconda starts, it seems to indicate it is doing a local CD install instead of an HTTP install. A message is shown that says, "Local installation media detected". Expected Results: A message such as, "Loading anaconda from CD for HTTP install" or some other indication that it was *really* doing an HTTP install would alleviate confusion. Additional info:
It's after the string freeze so I can't change it right now. Targeting for FC3
Fixed in CVS
