[Fedora-livecd-list] Corrupted RPMs

[Tim Wood]

The LiveCDs I've been trying to create today are all failing.  In each 
case I'm getting what looks like corrupted rpms from official repositories.
I've forced it to use three different repositories with similar 
results   All of the RPMs in question are either release or update 
fedora 8 rpms.  The only solutions I can think of vis-a-vis the RPMs is 
to some variant of rebuilding, trying all the mirrors or 
waaaaiiiitttting.  Any other suggestions?
