Can you rename/remove the images directory from /home/common/ARCHIVES/FC6/GOLD/i386/images/, if images/stage2.img exists we assume non nfs-iso install. With just the iso in the dir it should work.
Can you rename/remove the images directory from /home/common/ARCHIVES/FC6/GOLD/i386/images/, if images/stage2.img exists we assume normal nfs install and don't look for nfs-iso install. Without images/stage2.img just the iso in the dir it should work. This change from FC5 is due to tree layout changes (FC5 doesn't have images/stages2 as that's in base). Jeremy should we change the loader logic to check something in addition images/stage2 for this or just document that is how we now determine nfs vs nfsiso?
renamed "/home/common/ARCHIVES/FC6/GOLD/i386/images/" to other name and the installation worked with no problem at all. Thanks so much for prompt response.
