man mkisofs
So here we are. I created a 13Gb iso from the tree (updated today) with the command: mkisofs -v -U -J -R -T -f -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -V "Fedora rawhide i386 DVD" -o rawhide_290308.iso /dir_of_rsync_tree
NOTE: the date in the command is two days ago because I tried at that time, but also today after updating tree (and without changing iso file name) but with the same install errors (see below). I'm able to mount the iso created as a loop device in my f8. I'm able to use this iso image as dvd in qemu-kvm to start an install (I stopped it after the screen with language selection...). Then I burned the boot.iso file of the tree on a cdrw. Then I booted it and chose an hard disk install type. I point to the partition and dir with the iso file and I see the message "local install media detected". Suddenly then I get a traceback. I attach console screen (installer exited abnormally[1/1]). The screenshot is only for the latest lines in the screen.... Using Alt+Fkeys I can see respectively these on them (I got all screenshots with digikam if it can be useful) on various consoles: 3) path to valid iso found (name is rawhide 290308.iso but it was rsynced today with anaconda-11.4.0.61-1); try to mount; mounted; detected stage2 image on cd 4) iso9660 joliet level 3; unable to load NLS charset utf8; iso9660 extensions: rrip_1991A; isofs: unable to identify cd-rom format; vfs: can't find an ext2 filesystem on /dev/loop0 (several times); 5) mount, wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0 (several times) ... (typical other 3 lines when you try to mount a bad file on a loop device)
So it seems that local hard disk iso image method doesn't work either with 13Gb iso image.... Correct? Or other suggestions...?
Thanks Gianluca

Small attachments are really no problem. Big ones do need to be put elsewhere, but not everyone has this facility.

There are dozens of websites which allow uploading files even anonymously.

Maybe so, Rahul, but it seems to me that more bandwidth is wasted in those interminable threads where you have to page down 10 times to find the 2-line reply. And there are so many of them, on this and many other lists.

True but just because we already waste time on this doesn't mean that we need to do more of it. Besides my mailbox is pretty much full all the time and I would really hate having to download a large attachment I don't want.
