<p class=MsoNormal>Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m attempting to install Fedora 12 Sparc on a Sun
V210 platform and having repository problems, (Error - unable to read package
metadata. This may be due to a missing repodata directory…) I
have seen this following comment posted on <a
href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/SPARC">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/SPARC</a>,
but am not sure exactly how to address it:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:black'>- repo issues when installing - There repos are not laid out
exactly as anaconda wants when doing a netinstall. you can pass repo="path
to mirror" or fix up in the gui<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:black'>I have no gui access, and am performing the text based fedora install
using ALOM, (advanced lights out management interface). I am able to boot
up in linux rescue mode and obtain internet connectivity. Thanks much for
any help getting me beyond this issue.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
