Hello everybody,
I tried a network install of Fedora 7 Test 2 and encountered several problems. I downloaded the boot.iso file from the development branch and burnt it. Once booted, I choose the HTTP install. And here all my miseries begin. Depending on the way I wrote the website domain and the directory, I got an "impossible to download stage2.img file" error.
In fact, it seems that the « installer » dislikes very much the "/". Depending on where you add it, it fails getting the file.
What I typed :
domain name : http://mirror.linux.duke.edu/ directory : /pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/os The error message : Unable to download the " http://mirror.linux.duke.edu///pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/os/ima... file"
but when I typed :
domain name : http://mirror.linux.duke.edu directory : pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/os The error message : Unable to download the " http://mirror.linux.duke.edu//pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/os/imag... file"
When the installer take me back to the url screen I can see that it added a / at the beginning of the directory path, which explains the error message above. Therefore, it always fails downloading the file... I tried with several mirrors, include rpmfind one.
There is one and only one server that worked (but far too slow for a net install) :
I typed it like this : domaine name : http://download.fedora.redhat.com directory : pub/fedora/linux.core/development/i386/os
... and it works. Does Fedora only recognize its Master ?
