I have been using the following with no problems:
url --url http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/22/Everything/i386/os/
However, One computer I need to upgrade is in another city and in an
area that has power outages on occasion but It has battery backup.
During a netinstall, if the power goes out while downloading the
packages -- that would require me to go to the location. So I am trying
to use a local OS tree for the install. This will reduce the risk from
power outage.
The documentation says the following:
|harddrive|
Install from a tree or full installation ISO image on a local hard
drive. The tree or ISO image must be on a file system which is
mountable in the installation environment. Supported file systems
are |ext2|, |ext3|, |ext4|, |vfat|, or |xfs|.
|install| |harddrive --partition= | --biospart= [--dir=]|
|--partition=|
Partition to install from (such as |sdb2|).
|--biospart=|
BIOS partition to install from (such as |82p2|).
|--dir=|
Directory containing the installation tree or ISO image.
I only have one drive in the computer: /dev/sda.
When I use:
|harddrive --partition=/dev/sda2 --dir=/path/os|
The target mount points are:
sda1 is mounted as /
sda2 is mounted as /home
The errors are that the drive is not found for install and os tree also
fails.
I also tried:
|harddrive --partition=sda2 --dir=/path/os|
I have not found any other info.
Is there documentation elsewhere that has more details on the use of an
OS tree?
Thanks for your help,
David
