#1 6th February 2008, 03:16 PM GGGav Offline Registered User Join Date: Jan 2008 Posts: 2 Kickstart install error "Unable to read group information from repositories" I am trying to build a Kickstart, updated install of Fedora8 for use with a hard disk install (that is I need an ISO at the end of my build process) for a machine with two hard disks (one to Kickstart from and one to install Fedora on to). I had hoped that I could start with a Fedora8 ISO and then 1) Extract everything from the ISO to a build directory 2) rsync the updates down to a local directory 3) Merge the two sets of packages 4) Create a fresh 'repodata' directory 5) Write the build directory to an ISO 6) Put my new ISO and a ks.cfg on one hard disk and then boot with a Fedora 8 boot disk. The install would then use my updated ISO as the source for the packages. This all seems to work until I get the following error during the installation.
