Does the F12 (and I suppose 13 and 14) install DVD have more on it than the install CDs?
I know that yum points to the ''everything' repo which is more inclusive than the install CDs.
I ask this because I just installed an Amahi system using a local repo built from the install CDs and many of the dependencies for Amahi are NOT met during the install. They, for the most part, get picked up later.
I have enough disk on my repo server to hold the everything tree, but I am wondering if that is my problem, or if it is Amahi's.

IIRC, the CDs (which disappeared at one point, only to re-appear again) contain the same content as the DVD, only broken into bite-sized (CD) pieces.

Yes. The DVD and CDs are only intended to get you up and running, and have a specific table of contents which is decided by the what can fit on the DVD. Everything else get shunted to the Everything repo.

Which is why Everything is the repo configured after the install.

This all confirms what I am seeing. I will have to work this out. I will download everything and do the install again, bet it goes well this time. And then work with the Amahi people about what is happening.

I did a little reading on Amahi having never heard of it before. The one thing that stood out in the reviews and HOWTOs as far as install problems was one MUST follow Amahi's install instructions religiously. The one error that was noted most by those who didn't follow the instrucions was failing to add the Amahi Repository DURING the Fedora install. It seems adding it after and updating isn't a fix.
Could this be the root cause of your problems?
