Fedora 15 x64
The Beta 2 repository installer seems to want to force me to install Mongo, even though I have installed and configured it manually. There is no option to skip or otherwise avoid the installation.
Can this be changed, and is there any way around it currently?
To elaborate, when I try to continue with the install, it seemingly attempts to install Mongo, then pops up an error saying something to the effect of “Failed to run the validation program”, and does not allow the installer to continue, thus preventing me from installing the new version.
According to the latest beta 2 release notes, you should be able to point the installer at your already installed MongoDB path?
Unfortunately, the installer disagrees.
Man, there must be a large default font size on your Fedora machines! The other radio button that allows you to use an existing Mongo installation is somewhere off the bottom of the screen. 
We’ll just take out the extra verbosity describing the Repository and Database components. In the meantime, maybe tabbing down to the second radio button might help, but I can’t confirm because I’m not in the office.
We’ll get another beta release out next week to address this. OSX is just going to have to wait until at least beta 4…

Ha. Good to know Ryan. I’ll try shrinking the system default and seeing if I can get the rest of the options into view. These VMs aren’t configured like our studio images; they’re pretty vanilla F15 + Gnome setups. Hopefully there won’t be more issues once I transition to testing on production boxes (which use KDE)…
In case I do end up flying blind, how many options are there in that dialog? Just the two?
Thanks,

Yup, just the two.
Cheers,
