Can someone with a spare F17 (ARMv5 or ARMv7) machine, a network connection, and some sort
of GUI capability try installing this package of Anaconda?
I can't promise any of this will work or even run but I'd be interested in hearing
any success or failure test runs/cases.
The only system I could run this on at work is a Guru with F17 ARMv5 in text-mode which
Anaconda sets to not show the package selection screen/part.
To download the v5 version of it:
# curl -sL
'http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=700146&name=anaconda-17.13-2.fc17.arm.7.armv5tel.rpm'
-o ana.rpm
To download the v7 version of it:
# curl -sL
'http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=700145&name=anaconda-17.13-2.fc17.arm.7.armv7hl.rpm'
-o ana.rpm
To install the file:
# rpm -i ana.rpm
If you run into dependency requirement install errors, you can get all of them in one
command with:
# yum install -y `rpm -i ana.rpm 2>&1 | awk '{ print $1 }'`
To run it (I think...):
# anaconda

Jon,
You should be able to run this in VNC mode on any box. See (for example)
http://dcantrel.fedorapeople.org/doc/vnc/VNC_Whitepaper-vnc-modes-in-anac... for
notes on using Anaconda with VNC.
(Please avoid posting links to Koji scratch builds -- they expire in
days, while your messages live on in the e-mail archives for a long
time. It's better to put the files in a web-accessible personal
directory somewhere instead).

I gave it a go, your dep collecting commandline fragment also collects
the string Error: which grep -v : takes care of btw.
It does start in graphical mode, asks me what language to use, but when
I click Next on the default English (English), it pops up a box "An
error occurred when attempting to load an installer interface
component." className = KeyboardWindow. Then it's just Exit | Retry.
I guess there's some unspoken packaging dependency.

This fails for me. Specifically:
* it does not come up in graphics mode, text-mode only. I'm running on a
versatile express via `ssh -X`. That works well enough for gitk but not
gedit so there may be errors on my end.
* During package selection, it looks like it can't find the "Core"
group. This raises various python exceptions until the program exits,
rebooting my system in the process.
