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 p.s. I'm sorry if this shows up twice, but I got a bounce message alleging that my earlier one was sent to too may recipients.
