I need a copy of the install.img file for Fedora 20. It doesn't seem to be present in archives.fedoraproject.org or in the F20 netinstall ISO. Can anyone point me to a copy?

Thanks but no cigar... As I said, I don't see install.img there.

What is an install.img file? That is, what is its function? Is it possible that it is actually called initrd.img?

You could also try installing using BFO, https://boot.fedoraproject.org/

I've never seen a clear description of each of the files involved in a PXE installation, but install.img is certainly one of them. It may be the anaconda executable, but that's just a guess. It certainly is not the initial ram disk (initrd).
You will find a copy in the current F24 directories on fedoraproject.org, for example. But the copy seems to be release specific. I need one for F20 and that doesn't seem to be online.

Looking at the Fedora-20-x86_64-DVD.iso ISO image for F20, there is no "install.img":
[root@prophead ~]# find /mnt -name "*.img" /mnt/LiveOS/squashfs.img /mnt/images/efiboot.img /mnt/images/macboot.img /mnt/images/pxeboot/initrd.img /mnt/images/pxeboot/upgrade.img /mnt/isolinux/initrd.img /mnt/isolinux/upgrade.img
Note there are two files each in the pxeboot and isolinux directory trees, initrd.img and upgrade.img. There is no install.img. There was a major rehash of the way the installers worked at F22 or thereabouts, so that might explain it. Checking the release notes should reveal that sort of info, but I can't recall when the switch happened. I'm getting old and suffer from CRS (can't remember s**t) syndrome now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - He who laughs last thinks slowest. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

There are copies not only in the current F24 images directory but also in the F14 archive images directory. No copies in the interim releases that I can see. But I'm fairly certain that I once had a copy for F20. I wish I still did.

It's size makes it unlikely to be anaconda. And it is too small for a netinstall iso. It's likely to be a base file system template with default packages or something. When I've done bfo installs (basically a network pxe install), it first downloads the menu interface for maybe 10 MB, and then downloads about 40 MB for the anaconda install interface. From there everything is done over the net. So I don't see how the install.img you need fits into that scenario.
How about live cds? They do direct write installs. Would they have that file?
Good grief!!!! You wqant to be spoonfed???

Well, maybe I'm blind, but that looks the same as fedoraproject to me. Is there some reason install.img is invisible to me?
Tell the list what exactly you wish to achieve, then perhaps you will receive help. Asking for a filename is not the way to seek help on this list.

Well, it is, provided that someone remembers such a file or its purpose. FWIW, I only remember such a file from older releases of Fedora up to Fedora 14. For F20 there has been a separate squashfs.img.
So, maybe tell which instructions you're trying to follow.

1. install.img is present in the F24 directory on fedoraproject.org. That led me to think it should be present for all the releases.
2. I was trying to do a PXE installation from a local repo mirror. It now appears that my treeinfo file was altered incorrectly and that was the source of the attempt to access install.img. I finally found copies of the correct file and discovered it should have been looking for squashfs.img, as you said. With that correction, things are working for me.
Thanks for everyone's patience.

I for one object to this kind of response on this (worldwide) list from people such as jd1008 (who cant even be bothered to spellcheck their reponse) - doesnt this list have any moderators?
