Description of problem: When you do a Network install (using the net install CD) you get a ton of Old packages installed, which need updating after a reboot. What is the difficulty in adding the updates/Security updates repository when you do a net install, since you're already downloading all the packages one by one? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 9.0 How reproducible: do a network install Steps to Reproduce: 1.Burn cd 2. Fiddle with finding the correct url from an unlisted list of mirrors 3. Groan when it wants to install all the same packages again after a reboot. Actual results: Three hours spent downloading packages Expected results: two hours spent downloading packages Additional info:
Right, that's because F9 didn't have the updates repo selectable. The next release of Fedora will allow you to select the updates repo right from the task selection screen. This code is already in Rawhide. Whether it'll be enabled by default is still open to some debate.
Sorry to use a closed bug for discussion, but: Will Rawhide ( F10 ) also include a list of mirrors from the installer? As that was unavailable (or unfindable in F9) having the feature "there" but unable to be used unless you supply a secret URI , would sort of defeat the purpouse.
If you use the boot.iso and don't specify a method= parameter, you will get the mirrorlist by default. So, yes.
