Description of problem: The http and ftp installation methods of the official Fedora 7 for x86 DVD are unreliable. If you choose the installation by http, Anaconda adds a spurious slash between the mirror address and the path to fedora directory ( http://mirror.xyz.com//path/to/os/directory instead of http://mirror.xyz.com/path/to/os/directory) and the download of stage2.img fails. The ftp installation method instead works fine until the package download phase where it fails with a similar issue (it tries to download from ftp://mirror.xyz.com/%2F/path/to/os/Fedora/ instead of ftp://mirror.xyz.com/path/to/os/Fedora ) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Start the installation from the official Fedora 7 i386 dvd and try to install by http or ftp using any mirror. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch the installation of Fedora from the Dvd 2. Select any keoboard/language and then try to start second phase of the installation from http or ftp 3. put the mirror address and the path to Fedora 7 files and directory then press return Actual results: Anaconda does not find the files needed for the installation/upgrade from internet. Expected results: Anaconda install Fedora 7 x86 by downloading the proper files from internet. Additional info:
I can confirm the same problem, but on FTP anaconda add // betwen the server and fedora location instead of only /. When I try http something seamed to hapend and I left the computer on over the night. When I got up the next morning nothing had hapend so I gave up and downoaded the whole DVD iso and used hardisk install. I got a 64 bit version.
