Check that the CD's are burned properly. Theres a check media screen before starting the install, check at least the first CD.

Hi I tried to upgrade to FC3 test 2 from FC3 test 1, but it failed to open iso disc 3. I burned a new one, it still gave me error message:
The package libpng-devel-1.2.6-1 cannot be opened. This is due to a missing file or perhaps a corrupt packge......

I could not continue the installation process....



smax :(

I'm having the same problem. Did you ever find a solution to this?

If it has a recovery section in the hd that could be the problem.

This definitely sounds like the CD you burnt isn't valid. Did you check the MD5 sums for the ISOs to verify they burnt correctly?

Do the media check (if you can get that far).

I've had this problem both in VMWare and on a real PC, with verified MD5 ISOs.

It seems that the action of doing the media check, somehow coaxes Fedora2 into installing properly, otherwise it gets stuck with a corrupt RPM or invalid CPIO or some crap.

I'm not sure what this is, I guess a bug in Anaconda, but I've seen it so often, it can't be bad CD's or something, even using different CD-ROM drives doesn't fix it (or just mounting the ISO in VMWare). And that's even on machines where Win2K Pro and Slackware 9.1 have worked fine.
