Hi All,

Just trying to install F15 (fresh install) from the DVD, i have an issue where towards the end of the install it asks for a network adapter with internet connectivity.

is there any way to disable this and only allow it to use the local (DVD) install repo?

I had tried using the liveUSB tool to put the DVD image onto a 8GB pendrive. I had the same issue. I burnt the image to an actual DVD and it ran fine.

P.S. Why isn't anaconda flexible?!

Ahh, that will be my issue then.. I've done exactly the same...
I just fired up a KVM and launched the 64bit iso and it gave me the extra step of chosing my installation type/repos.

Looking more into this, it seems that when booting from USB it boots the initial anaconda environment then unmounts the usb disk... hence it trying to find a repository to install from.

Seems like a bug in the install process/anaconda.
