Ok, nevermind that lads, Now I got to the point where the fedora core
installer started (not anaconda, just the blue/red screen) and asked me how
to install, i picked from http site, then it asked for the web-site name,
and fedora directory...

I already chose a good fedora mirror to work from which is:
http://zeniiia.linux.org.uk/pub/distributions/fedora/linux/core/5/i386/

Ok, so the installer asks me for the web-site name and the Fedora Core
Directory...
what should I enter to that?
