Re: Installing FC6 from USB drive


I believe that you need to start the install using expert mode. Then you
should be prompted for install from hard drive. There should be a prompt
for the device followed by a prompt for directory where you locate the
iso file or files. Anaconda should do the mount and loop functionality
steps.

This worked for an IDE drive. I am not sure if it would work for getting
the files from a USB drive though. It should, but am not positive.

Without running expert, USB drive drivers are not loaded.

Your experimentation required.

As I think I now understand, I need to copy the iso file to the hard
drive (or usb drive)? Is that correct? When I had just copied the files
from the DVD install disk I burned, when I was prompted for a device I
would put /dev/hda1 and then for a directory I would put the directory
info but it always said something like that it could not find the
directory and it would append "/tmp/hddrive" to the directory info I
gave (I don't remember exactly except for /tmp).
