Retested this procedure on F-12-Alpha Test Compose (anaconda-12.7) and the problem does not present there. Adding this bug to F12Alpha blocker list for review. The boot.iso test case is currently a tier#2 test and not required for the Alpha. However, the tier#2 designation was assigned when install.img was not included on the boot.iso. We can look to augment this for future testing. Taking this into account, I think it might be worthwhile to address this issue for the Alpha. Installing a system using a boot.iso is common. Possible workarounds include: * Boot and install from CD * Boot and install from DVD * Boot from PXE, install from network

This is because we don't have /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt in the anaconda environment, and thus can't handle the https metalink URL. Sending a patch to add this in.
...and rebuilt. This should be fixed in today's tree.

awaiting new anaconda-12.15 in rawhide to validate fix.
I have confirmed that this does work with 12.15. 12.15 will be in the release candidate I am composing today.
Tagged for the alpha.
Is this bz why in 12.14, Checking Dependencies ran for over an hour before starting install?
Confirmed that today's boot.iso installs without problems. Checking dependencies takes only a minute or two, but installation of full package takes about an hour.
