Description of problem: *after* telling AS5 to install via HTTP, it goes ahead and continues installing via the booted media, instead of immediately using the HTTP method as specified. For remote-installs - this is very painful, since the boot media is usually emulated via iLo or some other method, meaning that it can take upto 24hours to read the booted CD, when it was supposed to be reading via HTTP in the first place. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): beta2 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot disc1, select HTTP 2. observe the boot continue from the CD without accessing HTTP Actual results: uses CD disc1 Expected results: use HTTP Additional info: I have reported this bug before in ES4
We read the second stage off of the CD because that's going to be faster and less memory intensive than loading a ~ 70 meg file into memory.
