Greetings all;

I just tried to install F8 on a fresh 400GB sata disk, on an offboard 
controller.  I configured it so as not to touch the existing drives with FC6 
installed on them so that I had some continuity and could back up to Fc6 as I 
am now.

Everything was marching along at a good rate, with basically an everything 
install, 1266 packages IIRC.

At the 805th package it bailed out.  The package was:

xorg-x11-xinit-1.0.7-2.fc8.i386.rpm

It either could not be opened or was missing.  The media did pass checksum, 
and the network was alive & well, the install getting much of its info from 
there according to the traffic on my router.

Next?

Thanks.
