Installation Source
     __________________________________________________________

   The Installation Source screen allows you to specify a location
   (local or on the network) from which packages will be
   downloaded and installed on your system. This screen will be
   configured automatically in most cases, but you can change your
   settings or add additional sources.

Note

   Normally, when you first enter the Installation Summary screen,
   the installer will attempt to configure an installation source
   based on the type of media you used to boot. The full Fedora
   Server DVD will configure the source as local media, the
   netinst ISO image will configure the closest network mirror,
   etc. This process takes some time, especially if the default
   source is a network mirror. If you plan to use a custom
   installation source, use the inst.askmethod boot option to skip
   the initial configuration; this will allow you to enter this
   screen immediately. See the full Fedora Installation Guide,
   available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/ for information
   about boot options.

   The following options are available. Note that not all of them
   may be displayed.

   Auto-detected installation media
          This is the option selected by default if you started
          the installer from media containing an installation
          source, such as a live DVD. No additional configuration
          is necessary. You can click the Verify button check the
          media integrity.

   ISO file
          This option will appear if the installation program
          detected a partitioned hard drive with mountable file
          systems during boot. Select this option, click the
          Choose an ISO button, and browse to the installation ISO
          file's location on your system. You can click the Verify
          button to check the file's integrity.

   On the network
          Use this option to download packages to be installed
          from a network location instead of local media. This is
          the default selection on network installation media.

          In most cases, the Closest mirror option available from
          the protocol selection drop-down menu is preferable. If
          this option is selected, packages for your system will
          be downloaded from the most suitable location (mirror).

          To manually configure a network-based installation
          source, use the drop-down menu to specify the protocol
          to be used when downloading packages. This setting
          depends on the server you want to use. Then, type the
          server address (without the protocol) into the address
          field. If you choose NFS, a second input field will
          appear where you can specify custom NFS mount options.

Important

          When selecting an NFS installation source, you must
          specify the address with a colon (:) character
          separating the host name from the path. For example:

server.example.com:/path/to/directory

          To configure a proxy for an HTTP or HTTPS source, click
          the Proxy setup button. Check Enable HTTP proxy and type
          the URL into the Proxy URL box. If the proxy server
          requires authentication, check Use Authentication and
          enter your user name and password. Click OK to finish
          the configuration.

          If your HTTP or HTTPS URL refers to a repository mirror
          list, mark the check box under the address field.

   You can also specify additional repositories in the Additional
   repositories section to gain access to more installation
   environments and software add-ons. All environments and add-ons
   will be available for selection in Software Selection once you
   finish configuring the sources.

   To add a repository, click the + button. To delete a
   repository, select one in the list and click the - button.
   Click the arrow icon to revert to the previous list of
   repositories, i.e. to replace current entries with those that
   were present at the time you entered the Installation Source
   screen. To activate or deactivate a repository, click the check
   box in the Enabled column at each entry in the list.

   You can name your additional repository and configure it the
   same way as the primary repository on the network using the
   input fields on the right side of the section.

   Once you have selected your installation source, click Done in
   the top left corner to return to Installation Summary.
