Ok, now the installer correctly downloaded stage2.img, then popped up saying
hello to fedora... after strting anaconda, still in just red/blue interface,
it proceeded to ask me about a few things regarding partitioning and where i
wanted fedora installed...

then, it said retrieving installation information, went to about 9%, then an
error came-out:
Unable to read package metadata. This maybe due to a missing repodata
directory. Pleas ensure that your install tree has been correctly generated.
failure: repodata/repodata.xml from anaconda [Errno 256] No more mirrors to
try.

Then it presented me with only one option: Exit!

What went wrong? my internet connetion is still working and running,
apparently... so what happened?
