Hi! I'm trying to install centos 5.1 as a http installation from a centos mirror. i've done it before with Fedora, figured I could do it with Centos, too, but every time I try it, it goes all the way thru Anaconda to the point of entering the root password, then I get an error about not being able to find the repodata. I note that the section in the "upstream" manuals about network installs imply (without ever being extremely specific) that you would have your own server with the files on it. Is this some limitation that prevents us from using a centos mirror instead? Anyway, I've tried with two mirrors. when it asked me for the system name and the path to the directory, I entered this (for one of the tries): www.gtlib.gatech.edu /pub/centos/5.1/os/i386 and for the other mirror mirror.rhsmith.umd.edu /pub/centos/5.1/os/i386 in the two lines of the form. Is this right? (the manuals aren't really really terribly explicit). Thanks! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- The Lord is like a strong tower.
