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 ____________________________________________________________________________________ Need a vacation? Get great deals to amazing places on Yahoo!
