Incorrect bootnet.img on RedHat mirror
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:29:16 EDT
The bootnet.img file at ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/redhat-7.0/i386/en/images/ is incorrect. Apparently it is an exact copy of boot.img in the same directory. I was able to do an FTP-based install by using the bootnet.img file from ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/redhat-7.0/i386/en/images/sv/ instead. It appears that this is a usable bootnet.img file; as soon as the initial welcome page (in Swedish) had timed out I was able to proceed with an English-speaking install.
hmmm ... the bootnet.img site from that directory seems to be the proper version now ... the md5sum is proper ... maybe the mirror site corrected the problem ... thanks for your report! (c4df79650c81960d6f8807a36e014e40 mirrorftpsite_bootnet.img)
I think that the problem is still there? In the directory ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/redhat-7.0/i386/en/images/ the boot.img and bootnet.img files are identical. Thus in this directory there is no usable image file for network boot. For comparison, in the directory ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/redhat-7.0/i386/en/images/sv/ the files boot.img and bootnet.img are different.
