I tried to do a hard drive install of f10beta but could not get it to work. It's possible I'm doing something stupid though. Here's what I tried:
I always have problems with burning CDs and DVDs, so I don't bother even trying anymore... since I'm doing a hard drive install and have a working grub on my hard drive, I have just added an "install f10" option to grub. I did this by loopback mounting the DVD image and copying isolinux/initrd.img and isolinux/vmlinuz to /boot. Then I modified grub to point to those files:
title Fedora 10 Install
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz.install ro root=UUID=b65d5932-9eb3-4013-5d48-7e2420b78253 askmethod initrd /boot/initrd.img
It seems like it's working, but then when I tell it to do a hard drive install and where the install image directory is, it says it can't find it. I hit Alt-F[2-7] and found a message implying it was looking for a file named install.img in the install image directory. But I'm sure I've never put a file named install.img in that directory. Do I need to rename Fedora-10-Beta-i386-DVD.iso to install.img? With older releases, hard drive installs automagically found the iso file.
So am I doing something wrong or are hard drive installs broken?
Thanks,
David
