I have a problem while installing FC5. I'm doing a fresh install (all 5+1 discs passed media check) and right after I put in the Root Password I get this error.

'Unable to read metadata. This may be due to a missing repodata directory. Please ensure that your install tree has been correctly generated. Failure: repodata/repomd.xml from anaconda: [ errno 256 ] no more mirrors to try."

I had no issues installing FC4, and burned the ISO's to discs using the default method. (right-clicked on the iso and selected write image to disc) I have tried several of the suggestions found around the net, including this forum, but to no avail.

Any thoughts?

Can you do a network install by booting CD1 linux askmethod That should eliminate the possiblity of bad discs 2-5.

Well last night, I tried installing again, this time, I burned disc one on Windows using the iso powertool (at 4x) and I installed using a different drive (CDRW -> DVDROM). Even that disc had the same issue a couple of times in the CDRW, but once I changed to the DVDROM (and deleted all partitions from hdb, i was able to install quickly.
