During installation, there is an option to check the media - have you done it? It may take quite a while to complete. Alternately, If you have access to another Linux box with rpm then you can verify all the rpm files on the media; rpm -qp /mnt/dvd/Fedora/RPMS/*/*.rpm 1>/dev/null 2>/var/tmp/rpm-pkg-errs I have encountered above problem a few times even with no media errors. Just rebooted the system and went through the install process. Choose a "minimum" install (with networking) and then add the packages either from media or over the network. However, if the package is "core" to a minimum install then you are out of luck. -- Arun Khan Linux is like a wigwam - no gates, no windows, apache inside -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
