[OVC-demo-team] Anyone have install difficulty with Fedora Core 1?

Sadly, I still haven't managed it. After finally getting the ISOs, and
checking their MD5s, burning the CDs (and also lots of backup and
moving stuff around between partitions, which is more idiosyncratic to
the machine I want it on), I tried installing. The screens are very
pretty and all.

However, after a while (I'm not sure exactly how long, I left it for a
few hours), it got to an error trying to install "Fedora Logos." The
message said it was likely a missing file or bad CD. Checking the ISO
on the Mac where I actually downloaded it, there is indeed a
fedora-logos-1.1.20-1.noarch.rpm (I'm not sure if that's the exact name
it's looking for, it could be a spelling variant problem). Anyway, I
hit Return a few times, to no luck. So I figured maybe it really was a
bad CD, despite the MD5. So I burned another, and inserted it
mid-install. Same story. It seems awfully unlikely I'd burn with an
error in the same spot twice.

This makes it even more frustrating to try BRP on the "official
platform" than it already was 20 hours of work ago. I'm not sure what
to try next. I guess I might do a "minimal install" and hope it
doesn't want that package. Or maybe I'll install a fresh Mandrake 9.1
(which I had been using), and just do the PyQt updates (if they
succeed). Dunno. At least my Mandrake 9.1 CDs seem reliable... I
haven't downloaded v10.
