That took care of things. Thank you very much, Jerry.

No, you just need files from /isolinux /images on the dvd or disc1... Doesn't mkusbinstall work anymore? Frankly I didn't try it with the XS iso, but assumed it'd be the same as with the F11 DVD. Will try. Earlier, when preparing the installer for my build machine (which has no DVD/CD reader), mkusbinstall (running on a F9 host) did not work for me with the F11 DVD, and I found some instructions that fixed it, by downloading the netboot iso and placing it in /images. What error did anaconda throw up? Got a link to those instructions? I needed to run an update.img to get the installer to see my install when I was upgrading my workstation, can't recall if that problem extended to the usb install method. Maybe there was PEBKAC and/or just a better fix (hints?). I just hope the instructions for our end users can be simple :-) I'm re-testing now, but I'm on a F11 host... Ok, see two issue, I forgot that the behaviour of method= changed between F9 F11. We now need to make use of stage2= in place of method=(method is going away, anyway). Second is we are assuming with sed that there is a ks= in the line we're replacing. confusing anaconda over method/repo/stage2. Edit the sed replacement line replacing method= with repo=, the inner workings are slightly different between F9 and F11. thanks! - I'll fix that :-) Working up a patch cheers, m Jerry ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
[Server-devel] Backup and Recovery
Backup is now working for us but when I try to recover files by clicking on them in Moodle they are not showing up in Sugar with the right file type to be used again. They show up as File Activity + Backup and I can't open them. http://screencast.com/t/Pn2w8IoKy How is this supposed to work? For XOs can you download files and use them again on a new XO?

Re: [Server-devel] unregister soas
I don't have access to the XO used as admin in 0.5.2 before upgrading. I want to restore Moodle and all the ejabberd data to fresh install status and then start again. Is thispossible?

Might want to rpm -e moodle-xs rpm -e ejabberd-xs then re-install the rpms by hand. If you have the cd burned, cd /mnt-as-needed/Packages, then rpm -ivh moodle-xs* rpm -ivh ejabberd-xs* should put you back to square one with those packages. If you have the just the iso mount it loopback. Jerry ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
