I'm trying to install Fedora Core 1 by migrating my existing RH9 NFS
kickstart install process. I've tried pxeboot, the boot.iso image, and
the yarrow-disc1-i386.iso image. However, upon starting anaconda I get:
error 2 reading header: cpio: Bad magic
error 2 reading header: cpio: Bad magic
Running anaconda, the Fedora Core system installer - please wait...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 341, in ?

File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 22, in ?

you may safety reboot your system
The alt-F4 syslog screen has a bunch of the following:
<4>Error -3 while decompressing!
<4>c881b21e(4107)->c5f3d000(4096)
It seems like I have some corrupt files somewhere, but I've double
checked the iso images (md5sums and cmp /dev/cdrom iso). I have been
concerned about appearing to have gotten some corrupt files from one of
the rsync mirrors I've tried (stanford or ibiblio?). Is there a way
to verify the rpms I've downloaded? Although it seems like if anything
is corrupt, it's in the initrd.img on the boot media.
