That *is* the "Fedora install program" as in "the program that installs Fedora", not "Package management" that you run from the "Add/Remove Applications" option in Gnome's "System Settings" menu? Either way, it looks identical to the bug in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=123403 It would probably be helpful if you added your experience to the bug. Meanwhile, I'd suggest waiting until Fedora is installed, then using yum to get it off the network, or handle the dependencies the old-fashioned way with rpm: Go into a terminal as root: mount /mnt/cdrom (assuming that's your DVD drive) cd /mnt/cdrom/Fedora/RPMS rpm -Uvh Canna-libs-3.7p1-6.i386.rpm xemacs-sumo-20040202-4.noarch.rpm \ xemacs-common-21.4.15-5.i386.rpm xemacs-21.4.15-5.i386.rpm \ apel-xemacs-10.6-2.noarch.rpm (Make sure you don't put any spaces after those final "\"s: they're "quoting" the following character, the return, so the shell sees all those packages as being on the same line). That *should* work: if it complains about any missing dependencies, either let us know or you can try to solve it yourself.
