Description of problem: The 'Everything' directory tree is missing the installation images (boot.iso, PXE, etc.). To be specific (example on one of the mirrors): I do see http://ftp.surfnet.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/x86_64/os/images/ I do NOT see http://ftp.surfnet.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/x86_64/os/images/ The same applies to releases/8/Everything/i386/os/images For the other platforms I lack the knowledge to asses if they are missing there too. How reproducible: 100% always, all mirrors. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Just check the above mentioned URLs and notice that it is missing. Actual results: No such directory Expected results: Directory with boot images Current workaround: Manually copy the 'images' directory from the Fedora tree.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
AFAIK, this is intentional - boot images are in the 'spin' tree (Fedora) only.
Hmmm, very strange to make a choice to intentionally leave something out that is required to boot the installation (like the pxe images). If this is an intentional choice then close this. I still consider this something that needs a workaround if you want to actually use this repository.
The "Everything" tree is just a repo. To start the installation, you'd need the install images from the Fedora spin, or any other spin one might want to do.
