Description of problem: I installed F12 alpha from the DVD and had the impression that the network (LAN) is used during installation. So the installation was awfully slow. For confirming this, I tried to install again after having deactivated the LAN chip in the BIOS, and, indeeded, the installation was cancelled by anaconda (after the install partition had been formatted). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F12 alpha How reproducible: each time Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install F12 alpha without network access. 2. 3. Actual results: The installation process breaks after having formatted the HD partitions. Expected results: Installation possible without LAN access. Additional info:

Oh, this is because udev isn't reporting an ID_FS_TYPE for any of your CD/DVD drives. anaconda keys off that to know what filesystem is present. Since there's nothing that reports an iso9660 filesystem, there's no apparent CDs/DVDs to install from. Hence, we have to go to the network. We already have a bug tracking this situation, so I'll dup it there. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 517661 ***
