Description of problem: If you use the network images to install from a ISO of a Classic DVD image in a Hard Disk after a successfully installation the repositories of the ISO points to /tmp/image/media in urpmi.cfg while the ISO is on /mnt/Mageia-<version>-<arch> in fstab, no symlink is created by the installation process so urpmi and rpmdrake can't use the repositories of the ISO Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from network image 2. Select Hard Drive as source 3. Select the Hard Drive and/or partition where you have the DVD ISO 4. Select folder where the ISOs is stored (if is necessary) 5. Select the DVD ISO 6. Pass for the install process (i only use ISOs repositories) 7. After boot in the installed system check urpmi.cfg and fstab 8. You'll see the ISO repositories don't point to usable path
Thank you for the report; it is strange that this has gone unnoticed for M7 up to now. [If it has already been reported, I cannot find that]. > 7. After boot in the installed system check urpmi.cfg and fstab > 8. You'll see the ISO repositories don't point to usable path Could you please post what these two files do actually look like. In anticipation of which, assigning to MageiaTools, CC ISO team.

Your welcome, i don't think is useful in their current state as long as i made changes to both files. By memory in urpmi.cfg the repositories of the DVD ISO file point to a correspondent subfolder of /tmp/image where i suppose the ISO is mounted in the install process And the fstab the ISO /mnt/hd/<isos-folder>/Mageia-<version>-<arch>.iso is mounted on /mnt/Mageia-<version>-<arch> (and with noauto option) So when you add remote repositories when install a rpm of the release media that are on the ISO, instead of take from the ISO, the rpm is downloaded from the remote version. I think this is the more unusual case of installation so the issue not bite to anyone, but recently i have to made a clean install of my system and dump the network-nonfree image to USB key to make the installation described.

Hi bug reporter and hi assignee and others involved, Please reopen this bug report if it is still valid for Mageia 8 or 9(cauldron), and change "Version:" in the upper left of this report accordingly. This report is being closed as OLD because it was filed against Mageia 7, for which support ended on June 30th 2021. Thanks, Marja
