It has happened after the partitioning scheme.  I let
it do its thing, use free space and then all of a
sudden, this happened.  

I later tried again and I got the following:

Unable to read package metadata.  This may be due to a
missing 
repodata directory.  Please ensure that your install
tree has been correctly generated   cannot open/read
repond.xml file for repository: 
anaconda-base-200705271038.i386 

I also tried a text-based install and it does not want
to work either.  It bombs out with the same message.  

Regards,

Antonio
