OK,  
sys:
Build FC-5 x86_64 on an msi K8n mobo with a AMD3000+ cpu and 2 g memory.
Hard drive 250g & 120 g  Seagate.

Using FC-5 x86_64 on DVD, system starts up and runs normal thru the selection of
network ip, grup, time and admin passwd questions. At this point it starts
the system retrieving install information dialog. After a couple of minutes I get
a dialog with the title ERROR, Unable to read package metadata:
repodata/comps.xml. Also some reasons and a system exit button. This is breaking
in the reposetup area. 

The k3b program built the iso from the dl from FC. After writing the dvd, it did
a check sum of the dvd write.
