I downloaded Fedora-12-x86_64-netinst.iso, burned a CD and booted it to upgrade my Fedora 11 system. It seemed to http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=236931 be working at first, but after it made a network connection and spun for a while, it displayed an error message which I scrawled down with a pen that looked something like this: Quote: Unable to read package metadata. This may be due to a missing repo data directory. Please ensure that your install tree has been correctly generated. failure: repodata/8dc56a87... filelists.sqlite.bz2 from updates; [Error 256] No more mirrors to try. Whose repo data directory are they talking about? With F11, I do yum update succesfully. Is there something else I have to do? BTW, the posted sha1sum for the CD is: 87569889fe1f05b8f74e7045caa4957ab1126744ca2d276704 520f111eb1bb27 but when I calculate it, I get: 3e7e0089c44d577807de8a7c24ce8a0e0aa05a88 I don't understand why the length is different. But I downloaded it from three different sites and they were all identical. KenJackson View Public Profile Visit KenJackson's homepage!

I guess what it basically means is that it cannot reach the mirror
