Hi all,
I remember to have installed SL 7 beta on VirtualBox VM (under SL 6
host) from web. I downloaded the web install iso; in the installer, I
had to set: first my local proxy, and then the url for the packages; if
I remember well, at that time it was
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7rolling/x86_64/os/
But now, it should be
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7x/x86_64/os/
I was able to install several betas this way. Of course, at each
instance, one must retype everything.
Good luck,

Subject: RE: Installation source not populated for SL 7.0
My problem is that I can't even start the installation.
I can confirm that I too have had problems doing SL 7.0 net installs
to VirtualBox VMs - it seems to be fine with physical machines though.
I haven't yet tried the above inst.repo option.
