I would respectfully ask if some who has done a straightforward install from a physical DVD on a bare metal system without either a wired or wireless connection can confirm that their experience is a successful completion of the install. If that is the case then maybe I have done something unusual - however in all previous versions of Fedora I have never had this issue. I am usually pretty careful and go through checking options at each page of the graphical install. I tried with this machine "three" times from scratch. It is a UK keyboard and language install - and with custom disk partitioning where the disk partition scheme was / /opt and /home on three different partitions, with a swap partition and no boot partition. The three normal partitions were specified as ext4 with formatting all three. This is nothing unusual - normally I go through the same set of screens and the next step would have been to select repos, and then choose the package selection - but this was impossible with the case this morning for me - I don't know why - I will have to wait for the network to be changed to allow dhcp from that machine and then it will no doubt work fine - but I really would like to know why it failed. Of course without a network I can't easily extract logs to put into a bz - -- mike c -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
