</div></div>It might be an idea to create a bootable usbkey with the netinst.iso<br>
file rather than the live usb iso, and also have the DVD iso on the<br>
usbkey as well, and then boot to netinst.iso and add a kernel line<br>
parameter of the form repo=hd:device:path-to-iso where the path-to-iso<br>
points at the DVD iso.<br>
<br>
Here "device" might be /dev/sda2 for the usb key or whatever is<br>
relevant to your machine and the path is relative to the root of the<br>
usbkey.<br>
<br>
I have not tried it with usbkeys for f16 but it is worth a shot - once<br>
the install is in progress make sure you don't miss the bootloader<br>
section and make sure that you carefully check or set that it will be<br>
written to the hard drive and not the usbkey...... you may need to<br>
switch the bios drive order when you get to that screen in the install<br>
process.<br>
