Hi !

Is this right, that a test installation only works with DVD/Networkimages ?

  i want to install via pxe, but after partitioning,
  the installations breaks with e.g.

anaconda exception report
  Traceback /tmp/updates/yuminstall.py
  line 596  in readRepoConfig
if not BETANAG and ("rawhide" in repo.id or development" in repo.id

and

NameError : global name 'BETANAG' is not defined


Or is my installation enviroment a  buggy ?

Thanks & cheers


        Martin
