Hello,

I run into an error in the begining of the installtion.
I downloaded 5 iso images and tried to install FC5 into VMware 5.5.

It started booting from the image but after a few steps gave me:

"Unable to read package metadata. This may be due to a missing repodata
directory.
Please that your install tree ahs been correctly generated...."


What can be the matter?

thank you

Did you validate/test/verify your cd's before you did the install?

later.....
