    ftp reinstall

    not sure if this is my fault, i messed up ftp setup so i un-installed it re-booted and try to reinstall.

    i get this message

    error downloading headers
    errors were encountered while downloading package headers

    failed to retrieve repodata/filelists.xml.gz from rhel-i386-server-5
    error was [Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum

    i tried to install something else just to see if i had a connection problem....but it installed fine

    Sometimes the Mirrors don't get sync'ed up in time and you just need to wait several hours or you could change your repos to see if the same problem is occurring there too.
    I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.
