Description of problem: During a NFS install of F9-Beta-DVD-i386, after formating my partitions, an error pops up: "Unable to read package metadata. This maybe due to a missing repodata directory. Please ensure that your install directory tree has been correctly generated. Cannot retrive repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: anaconda-Fedora-200803191358.i386. Please verify its path and try again." There's an option to "edit" - where you can change the Repository name, and Repository URL. I don't know what to try. I have to exit the installer. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: boot from netinst cd , choose install, choose NFS, ..., choose my partition layout, after partitions format, the above error appears.
are you trying nfsiso? We know that's a bust for Beta, but I'm not sure of the bug off the top. I was hoping it was resolved in today's rawhide with a new anaconda, but installation images weren't generated :(
(In reply to comment #1) > are you trying nfsiso? not sure what nfsiso is, but i booted from Fedora-9-Beta-i386-netinst.iso and choose nfs. and i have another machine sharing the Fedora-9-Beta-i386-DVD.iso via nfs.
Yeah, that's nfsiso - when you share the ISO image via NFS instead of the exploded tree. Found the other bug, too. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 437887 ***
