in 3rd console I saw it was trying to read it from

Comment 1 Michael Fulbright 2002-07-09 23:43:09 UTC 
Were you installing from a mirror or your own ftp server?
Comment 2 Marius Andreiana 2002-07-10 11:18:18 UTC 
from local machine to vmware 2.x.

Transferring images worked fine (base.img and others), this happend when it
tried to get package list.

We do not support installing under vmware.
