Hi All,

 

I’m attempting to install Fedora 12 Sparc on a Sun V210 platform and having repository problems, (Error - unable to read package metadata.  This may be due to a missing repodata directory…)  I have seen this following comment posted on  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/SPARC, but am not sure exactly how to address it:

 

- repo issues when installing - There repos are not laid out exactly as anaconda wants when doing a netinstall. you can pass repo="path to mirror" or fix up in the gui

 

I have no gui access, and am performing the text based fedora install using ALOM, (advanced lights out management interface).  I am able to boot up in linux rescue mode and obtain internet connectivity.  Thanks much for any help getting me beyond this issue.
