Well,
it seems that the fedora project has rather a problem.

all mirrors report that the repomd.xml data file are not properly linked
metahandlers.
this is rather a problem fro doing net installs on a machine that
doesn't have a dvd player :(

I have tried also FC-10 and even 9. all have the same problem.

I was seeing the same thing.
Bummer!


Can you mount a dvd player across the network?  Can you do a local net install?

You setup exported directory on another machine where you leave the iso and then boot and run net install.

- Export a NFS dir.
- Place the Fedora dvd image in the exported directory.
- Check the permissions.
- Extract, burn and boot from boot.iso inside the fedora dvd image.
- Use the ‘linux text’ and ‘linux askmethod’ parameters.
- Choose the NFS option and fill-in the server and directory fields.
