Hi all, I tried to install Fedora Core 4 on my system thru a DVD. But i got error something like this :"Found errors while installing GAWK-x.xxx. This can be due to media failure/hardware problem. This is Fatal Error and your installation will be aborted. Click OK to reboot." Is there any way by which we can skip the packages that are erroneous and continue with the remaining installation.

During installation, there is an option to check the media - have you done it? It may take quite a while to complete.

Alternately, If you have access to another Linux box with rpm then you can verify all the rpm files on the media; rpm -qp /mnt/dvd/Fedora/RPMS/*/*.rpm 1>/dev/null 2>/var/tmp/rpm-pkg-errs

I have encountered above problem a few times even with no media errors. Just rebooted the system and went through the install process.

Choose a "minimum" install (with networking) and then add the packages either from media or over the network. However, if the package is "core" to a minimum install then you are out of luck.
