These errors are not actual fact. What I mean is that you can, and we have, determined that the packages which appear to cause the failure are actually present and pass their checksums. So, something else is going on. In fact, if you rerun the installation with the same media on the same machine, you're likely to run into a different error, or no error at all. And, of course, others of us have installed from these same images without incident. It would be extremely helpful to know if the problem occurs with the stock Fedora disks (or not). I am not aware that there has been much testing of text mode installation in Fedora. Most users installing interactively are using the graphical installer. Most others are doing "kick start" scripted installs. Janina Jude DaShiell writes: > these happened on both an old Dell machine circa 1999 a dimension dsx I > think and a new amd athelon-64 computer.
