Description of problem:network installing via http (mirror server). TCP config runs fine, but when entering host server name (input is split up in two lines), (PS: its a must -the user has to enter two lines), the program concatenates the two independent strings by adding a slash to each line. example: my entering: line 1 fedora.kiewel-online.de line 2 core/6/i386/os the program responds with (after about 5 minutes): unable to retrieve ....from http://fedora.kiewel-online.de//core/6/i386/os/ima.. PLEASE NOTE THE TWO SLASHES BETWEEN DE AND CORE. BEING a c-programmer, I tried to enter a backslash at the end of the first line to cancel out one of the slashes, but in vain. When I enter one slash on one of the lines, the response is: "unable to retrieve... from ....online.de///core/6.... PLEASE NOTE THE THREE SLASHES IN THIS CASE. TO ME ITS AN OBVIOUS BUG - COULD HAPPEN TO ME, ADDING A SLASH TWICE. OF COURSE ITS ONLY MY BEST GUESS i wish I could help PS: I am not sure I entered the right component, but it must be something with "http", I guess.. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):boot.iso How reproducible:every time (tried about 10 times) Steps to Reproduce: 1.download boot.iso (fedora 6) and burn a CD (boot-only cd) 2.boot with the burned CD and tell about HTTP MEDIA, when prompted 3.enter your own tcp/ip configuration (works fine) and then enter the media- servers'. then you get the problem:(see description) Actual results:UNABLE TO RETRIEVE MEDIA FROM ... SERVERNAME//CORE/6/i386 PLEASE NOTE THE TWO SLASHES= ERROR DURING CONCATENATION OF THE TWO INPUT LINES (PS. WHY ON EARTH DID YOU HAVE TO SPLIT UP INPUT IN TWO LINES? THAT CAUSED THE TROUBLE, SORRY..) Expected results:connection to server, which of course was impossible. Additional info:I have said enough already.
