Mass update of -test bugs to update version to fc4. (Please retest on final release, and report results if you have not already done so). Thanks.
Good morning, I have an issue about the DHCP choice, I explain : I boot on with PXE, I choose thelanguage (French), the Keyboard (PC Latin),the method of installation (NFS Server) and I choose the IP with DHCP and I have the error : " That Directory could not be mounted from the server" I come back to the IP and I choose Static, the system stop, I reboot and I choose Static IP, I have no problem. I install FC3 with the same method DHCP, and the install wotrks perfectly Thanks for your feedback
The 'That Directory...' message would appear /after/ dhcp gives you an IP address so that part sounds like its working. There's also a log of the dhcp transaction on one of tty's. This sounds more like an anaconda thing, so I'll reassign there.
Sorry for the delay. Yes, the message appears after the dhcp station gives the IP. If I choose FC3 on the same server, I have no issue. Thanks for your support Best Regards Armelk
Good Afternoon, I check on FC5 Test 1 I have the same issue. In English the DHCP works fine, but when I choose French Language the same message appear " That Directory could not be mounted from the server" If I come back on the preevious screen, and I choose the Fix IP the system doesn't continue. It's necessary I reboot and I use the fix IP to proceed Thanks for your feedback Armelk
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
