Problems installing Fedora Core 4

mhuggins · 10-03-2005, 07:20 PM

I'm installing what I believe is the most up-to-date version of Fedora Core 4 onto an old PC. (I've successfully run Fedora Core 2 on it previously.) My problem is on the 2nd CD installing, I get the message "The package yelp-2.10.0-1 cannot be opened. If you are installing from a CD media this usually means the CD media is corrupt, or the CD drive is unable to read the media."

I have ensured that the CD's are okay using Fedora's included CD check on all 4 CD's plus the rescue disc prior to installation. I have also verified my SHA-1 sums against those on the Fedora FTP mirror I used (ftp ://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/4/i386/iso/SHA1SUM).

Code:

C:\Documents and Settings\Matt Huggins\My Documents\My Downloads>sha1sum *.iso
3fb2924c8fb8098dbc8260f69824e9c437d28c68 *FC4-i386-disc1.iso
31fdc2d7a1f1709aa02c9ea5854015645bd69504 *FC4-i386-disc2.iso
032455cdf457179916be3a739ca16add75b768b7 *FC4-i386-disc3.iso
f560f26a32820143e8286afb188f7c36d905a735 *FC4-i386-disc4.iso
736e1555e88740d6131c5c84fbe69ed1073ba82d *FC4-i386-rescuecd.iso

Does anyone have any ideas as to what my problem might be? The CD seems to have burned fine considering the CD check said it was okay...

Okay, nevermind, I let it sit while writing this message, went back to it and hit the "Retry" button, and it worked....funny, it didn't work the first 7-8 times I tried, even with removing and cleaning the CD. Now it did. Go figure.

Ugh...now CD 3 is now doing the same thing that CD 2 did...I hope it fixes itself like the previous CD did...any thoughts anyone?
