I am trying to install Fedora 8 thru http.  I use TinyWeb as my webserver

CD from the iso. As soon as I enter the root password, it gives me the error 
that it can not find the repository metadata.

There should be entries in the error log on the webserver stating which files
are not found.  It is likely looking for repodata/primary.sqlite.bz2 at the URL
that you gave it/

Do you want me to post the log(s)?  Unfortunately there is nothing in the error 
log that is with my webserver ,Tinyweb (http://www.ritlabs.com/tinyweb/) and 
Tinybox, GUI for Tinyweb.

It looks like your web server doesn't have access to the files as it is
returning a 403 (Forbidden).  Make sure that the user your web server is running
as has access to the installation files.
