Clean Install of F29 problems

I have made a clean installed of F29 onto a small SSD and had a few problems which may be of interest. 1. It was necessary to separately dd and recreate the required partitions using gdisk to get the installer to accept a custom layout. The installer would not let me use the existing partitions. 2. A fatal dnf error during installation of tex-fonts-hebrew rpm required a complete start from scratch avoiding this particular rpm. (Another 2.5GB download) 3. I have been using _dnf_local and a local F29 repo for several releases Having set things up as previously the two repos give these errors. Any hints as to what I have missed with the repos would be very useful.
