Looking at the Fedora-20-x86_64-DVD.iso ISO image for F20, there is no "install.img": [root@prophead ~]# find /mnt -name "*.img" /mnt/LiveOS/squashfs.img /mnt/images/efiboot.img /mnt/images/macboot.img /mnt/images/pxeboot/initrd.img /mnt/images/pxeboot/upgrade.img /mnt/isolinux/initrd.img /mnt/isolinux/upgrade.img Note there are two files each in the pxeboot and isolinux directory trees, initrd.img and upgrade.img. There is no install.img. There was a major rehash of the way the installers worked at F22 or thereabouts, so that might explain it. Checking the release notes should reveal that sort of info, but I can't recall when the switch happened. I'm getting old and suffer from CRS (can't remember s**t) syndrome now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ri...@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - He who laughs last thinks slowest. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
