Hi,
and thanks for the answers.
I think my mistake was to assume that the installation would work from another logical partition, while it should be done from another primary partition... Not sure, but it seems very likely to me...

Anyway, I have installed fc7 from a dvd-rw, and am right now "yuming" the planet-ccrma packages...

thanks again,

cyrill

What I did for my last "network" install was to download the iso image to another computer running linux, and then mounted the image onto a directory I came up with (/mnt/fc6iso) - the mount command was "mount -t=iso9660 -o loop /{home/name}/{isoimagename}.iso /mnt/fc6iso".

Then, using NFS, I shared the directory on the network.

Finally, I burned a CD with the boot.iso image, and did a network install, using {ip_address}/mnt/fc6iso

Otherwise, I believe that you would need to dd the image to a directory location, then find that directory location for the install (locally).
