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.....

Code:
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?

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

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

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.
