Hmmm
Not tried that !
At some earlier Fx releases you "had" to remove the media to
get it to use the network
I have the boot stage on a USB stick
Aside
I have only installed F17 once, fully updated it and
installed all the repos and apps I require and then cloned
the partition[s] to other disks.
For my simple requirements this made life a lot easier and quicker
A dump/restore of a fully configured unmounted F17 partition to
an other partition on a different drive takes
about 2minutes 30sec (SSD to SSD)
Then you need to conquer grub2 !
I have a write up if anyone is interested
