Multiple .iso's in NFS install dir causes confusion
Last modified: 2007-03-26 23:54:34 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.0.0-10; Linux) Description of problem: Installer asks to test all .iso images in NFS installation directory, not just limbo's images. Installer then fails. Moving limbo's images to a separate subdirectory works around this problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot off bootnet.img floppy 2. Select NFS server and directory 3. Multiple Linux distribution .iso's confuses installer Expected Results: Should know that it only wants limbo-*-disc?.iso images. Additional info:
Honestly all the ISOs should be in their own directory. I'll make sure we document this. I'll also try to think of a better way to handle this case in the loader.
I agree with the original poster. I dropped my limbo*.iso's in /usr/local/redhat alongside my valhalla*.iso's, and I was surprised that the installer was confused by this. If I was running a mirror site, sure I'd make the extra level of directory structure, but for casual use the filenames provide sufficient distinction.
We'll have to visit this in a future release.
Peter made some changes last week that should improve this.
