This is a show stopper especially when NFS install is mostly all I do and to
top it all off root can't even edit the file and rewrite it. But that HAS to
be my fault.
1. Do you have hexedit installed? If not, yum install hexedit.
2. hexedit Fedora-9-Preview-i386-DVD.iso
3. /414c4c<enter> (This will search for the word ALL. The first ALL you find
should be the one you want to change, but check comment 15 of the bug in bugzilla.)
4. 310a0a (This will replace ALL with 1<new line><new line>.)
5. <Ctrl>-X (To save and exit.)
There is more information about hexedit in the man page; for example, <Ctrl>-C exits
without saving.
Hope this helps,
Fred
