Whatever the RHEL7 resolution, Fedora also should feature this behavior. +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1270354 +++ Description of problem: Currently it is possible to convince anaconda to attempt a network installation based on settings that are no longer in use. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):anaconda-19.31.123-1 How reproducible:100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot off of netboot.iso 2.configure all settings for a valid connection to the RHEL yum repo 3.reconfigure the network to an address with no connectivity 4.Begin installation Actual results: Anaconda formats the drives and then, after a long wait, produces an error that the repo timed out Expected results: When the network settings are changed, access to the installation sources is validated to ensure it still works. Additional info: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/411 Seems to resolve my use cases.
