Hi all, I tried to install Fedora Core 9 in a VmWare virtual machine under WinXP.
I downloaded the DVD ISO image and proceeded with the installation. When the process was started since about a minute, the following error did show: "The file evince-2.22.1.1-1.fc9.i386.rpm cannot be opened. This is due to a missing file, a corrupt package or corrupt media" Fine, I told to myself, let's download the ISO image again, this time from a different server, just in case. No joy, same error. Tried another couple of times, each one using a different server for the download. Same results... Browsing under Windows the DVD produced with the ISO image, I am perfectly able to find that evince-2.22.1.1-1.fc9.i386.rpm file, and even to hexadecimal browse it, without reported errors... Help, please.... -Fred |

Sounds like a broken ISO, file a report at Fedora's bugtracker.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/index.cgi Have you tried to see if there's anything about it in Fedora 9's release notes? http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f9/en_US/ Else try not to install this evince ... I'm not even sure what type of package that is myself. xboxrulz |

QUOTE(xboxrulz @ May 17 2008, 07:30 PM)  Else try not to install this evince ... I'm not even sure what type of package that is myself. Thanks for the reply. Well, I would like to be able to choose which packages to install... but Anaconda does not offer me this possibility. Sometimes making the install of Linux too much user friendly can have adverse results. Ok, I will investigate in the Fedora forums to see if I am the only pour soul getting that error. TNX -Fred |

It should work. I guess that your distro is like the other fedora distros, there is probably, at the beginning, a box saying something like "do you want to check that your CD is correct?", and if you click "Yes" it will check that each necessary rpm is present and is valid. I'm pretty sure that you said "no". Try saying "Yes" in order to verify the ISO file.
What I love with vmware is that you can directly install from the ISO file instead of burnig a CD, you save a lot of time if the iso is corrupted. And the verification program is nice, it avoids failed installs. |
