Hi,

I have had the exact same problems as below from both the DVD and individual
CD's.

Subject: more FC6 installation blues

Last night and this afternoon, I tried to install FC6 via the Internet.  I
used the rescue CD for booting.  I used www.speakupmodified.org for the site
and cdroms.html for the directory.  I went through the partitioning process,
choosing the boot loader, selecting dhcp, and setting the root password.
Then, I got this message:

Error

Unable to read package metadata.  This may be due to a missing repodata
directory.  Please ensure that your install treee has been correctly
generated.  Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository:
anaconda-base-200612160229.i386

Abort

I have also tried installing from a partition on the hard drive.  With the
CD iso images, I got the missing package problem I got with the CD's I used
last week.  (I forget which package, but I doubt it matters.) I've tried
using the DVD iso image, as well as the dd command output from it; in both
instances, I was told that the CD images could not be found.  (I guess the
rescue CD wants a only CD images, at least on a hard drive.)

I have looked at both the FC6 installation guide and the FC3 on for us
Speakup folks.  I saw nothing in either place indicating anything wrong I
may have done.  I do not yet have a usb drive or flash device.  Anyway, as
always, I'll appreciate any help.  If somebody knows there's no help to be
had (knows, not merely supposes), I'll appreciate knowing that, though of
course I won't like it.  Thanks!

Al
