| 16:20.09 | bit2man | It does seem there are still areas I wouldn't expect normal non techies to be able to comprehend what's going on nor to fix it. |
| 16:20.34 | bit2man | But MAN - has it come a long way since I first saw Gnome in RH6 ........ |

| 20:08.34 | quigleymd | any of you guys ever have any problems installing from ISO images on a hard drive using a rescue disk? |
| 20:09.31 | quigleymd | it generally works really well (and fast) for me, but last nite i was attempting to install F7 from it's rescue disk using ISOs from a hard drive that had both FC6 and F7 DVD ISOs on it, and the installer kept choosing the FC6 ISOs |
| 20:09.49 | quigleymd | took me two installs to figure out why i was getting a kernel panic |
| 20:26.00 | stickster | quigleymd: Hey man! |
| 20:26.14 | stickster | quigleymd: I think it has something to do with anaconda's heuristics for finding ISO images |
| 20:26.27 | stickster | Do you have them in a separate directory? |
| 20:26.50 | stickster | i.e. f7/F-7-i386-DVD.iso |
| 20:36.21 | quigleymd | stickster: nope I didnt, well, i eventually moved them and got them to work |
| 20:36.51 | quigleymd | *moved them and got IT to work |
| 21:02.45 | bit2man | quigleymd: so you're trying to run the install directly from the drive?? Didn't know anaconda could use an ISO as a source for the install? |
| 21:06.58 | quigleymd | bit2man: yep, you can boot the rescuecd and direct the installer to look on a harddrive for an iso to use as an install image |
| 21:07.19 | quigleymd | i think ext and fat work, not sure about ntfs |
| 21:07.21 | quigleymd | i used fat32 |
| 21:07.29 | quigleymd | makes for a speedy install |
| 21:11.48 | bit2man | hmmm .. would an nfs mounted ISO be available? |
| 21:11.52 | bit2man | I could use that feature :) |
| 21:12.21 | bit2man | meaning an ISO on an NFS share/mount point |
| 21:42.42 | quigleymd | bit2man: im not sure, i dont use nfs much. there may be a nfs option on the rescuedisk, but i dont remember for sure |
| 21:43.08 | bit2man | quigleymd: The anaconda has NFS, but that's to a "extracted" iso image. |
| 21:43.41 | quigleymd | understood |
| 21:43.56 | stickster | bit2man: Yes, that should work |
| 21:44.11 | quigleymd | i've never actually looked at the structure of the ISOs, could you just mount them using loop? |
| 21:44.15 | quigleymd | and then nfs share that? |
| 21:44.23 | stickster | quigleymd: absolutely |
| 21:44.23 | stickster | I've done that |
| 21:44.27 | quigleymd | :D |
| 21:44.28 | stickster | In fact, I do that at home |
| 21:44.56 | stickster | I do "mount -ro loop,context=system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t <image_name> <mntpoint>" |
| 21:45.09 | quigleymd | i like it :) |
| 21:45.27 | stickster | Then I can share it out via HTTP |
| 21:45.40 | stickster | NFS isn't such a good idea unless you make sure your NFS server only serves via TCP |
| 21:45.49 | stickster | Otherwise bad things can happen during installs |
| 21:59.36 | bit2man | stickster: right, but getting the ISO via http can be quite slow ... anyway, that's sorta what I do (execpt I don't include security contexts) when I do rescue boots and stuff. I usually install my Linux from "http" or sometimes NFS sources (if it's PXE) |
| 21:59.41 | bit2man | and it's just a loop mount |
| 21:59.53 | bit2man | hey - any of you guys XSD (Xml schema) gurus? |
