I found the reason a little while ago.
it appears that the fedora project let all their SSL certs expire.
as a result, their secure servers aren't relaying the proper info anymore.
So, I simply modifed the address to point at their non-SSL servers 
(removed the s from https) and
all works as it should. Someone over at The fedora Project needs to get 
back on the ball

You setup exported directory on another machine where you leave the iso and
then boot and run net install.

- Export a NFS dir.
- Place the Fedora dvd image in the exported directory.
- Check the permissions.
- Extract, burn and boot from boot.iso inside the fedora dvd image.
- Use the ‘linux text’ and ‘linux askmethod’ parameters.
- Choose the NFS option and fill-in the server and directory fields.

FC 11 all mirrors b0rked

2009-09-05 Thread Technomage
Well,
it seems that the fedora project has rather a problem.

all mirrors report that the repomd.xml data file are not properly linked 
metahandlers.
this is rather a problem fro doing net installs on a machine that 
doesn't have a dvd player :(

I have tried also FC-10 and even 9. all have the same problem.
