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 ?
