 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.

 

 I was seeing the same thing.
 Bummer!
   
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

 Can you mount a dvd player across the network?  Can you do a local net
install?

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.
