Repository missing >>> Fedora 8 Installing error

[Cool G5]

Today went to install Fedora 8 on my desktop.

While installing everything was fine,but after i went ahead in partitioning ,it gave initalizing install & after some time got the following error.....

Unable to read package metadata.This may be due to a missing repodata directory.Please ensure that your install tree has been correctly generated.Cannot retrieve repository metadata(repomd.xml) for repository : anaconda - base - 200711021053.i386.Please verify it's path and try again.

After this i had to abort the installer & the pc is restarted.

I booted from the digit DVD which had Fedora 8 image.Is it due to errors in burning of the media?Or something else?
Can it be rectified?

^Looks like a bad disc.
Try again with a better disc and perhaps lower burning speed.

No.
I was trying to install Fedora 8 from Digit DVD which is bootable.

disable any option in installer to configure YUM or getting connected to net for updates and continue installation.

^I proceeded with the default options.

Check ur RAM? Boot from DVD and start memtest .

 

[Cool G5]

Where is the option of "memtest" in bootable dvd?
Also how much time it takes?Have heard it takes about 12 hours?

 

[mediator]

The last option in the image.

Even I got this error while installing Fedora.And the reason was a defective CD [ I too installed it from the digit DVD ].So I finally installed it from my friend's digit DVD and it went just fine.

So it seems that the DVD is defective & i can't install from it.
Thank you all anyways
