Hi Paul, I moved onto using FC5 Gold, earlier I was on FC5test3. I am trying to run "anaconda --test -m nfs:/FC5 ". After giving the root password in the installation steps, installer pops same error box again which I used to get with FC5test3. It says -- "Unable to read package metadata. This may be due to a missing repodata directory. Please ensure that your install tree has been correctly generated. failure: repodata/repomd.xml from anaconda: [Errno 256] No more mirros to try." The contents of FC5 are directly copied from CD{1-5}. I built and installed anaconda from SOURCE.rpm (anaconda-11.0.5). What can be the problem? Appreciate your help. Thanks -vikas aggarwal -----Original Message----- From: Paul Nasrat [mailto:pnasrat@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, April 21, 2006 1:15 PM To: Aggarwal, VikasX Cc: Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx; fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: corrupt package message during FC5 install from NFS.
