There appears to be a glitch in anaconda when I do a network install.
It goes something like this, I enter the server name and directory name as follows
server: fedora.mirror.iweb.ca directory: releases/7/Fedora/i386/os
and it searches for the files in this location: ftp://fedora.mirror.iweb.ca//releases/7/Fedora/i386/os
I do back and see this:
server: fedora.mirror.iweb.ca directory: /releases/7/Fedora/i386/os
and no matter how many times I remove the slash at the beginning of the directory it returns when I move to the next screen.
So is anyone else having this problem or is it just me...and if it is: How do I fix it?
Please help!

This seems to be as designed.

No.

You don't do anything. What happens if you put that url in a web browser ? Someone described to me that all posix systems must accept such a URL; in fact try it with ten / in various locations.
This may be an anaconda issue with a specific ethernet adapter type. What type do you have ? Is it mentioned in the release notes or common issues: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs/F7Common

have you tried:
server: mirrors.kernel.org directory: http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/6/i386/os/
Interestingly enough, Fedora 7 didn't jump out at me...
is the above correct? I'd like to know, at least for future reference.
