Hello Everyone,

I have trying to install linux on my VM via ftp but every time after entering root password during the installtion i get this error message

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-20093211313.x86_64. Please verify its path and try again.
I tried creating the repodata directory (with repomd.xml file in it) but still it is not working. I was not sure so i tried creating a repodata for Server folder (containing all rpms in it) as well as for the whole installation directory also but nothing seems to be working.

So please somebody help me in overcoming this error. Is it something i missing here ? And moreover why i am getting this error ? Is it a necessity to have repodata folder, if yes then for what files it should be created and where it should be placed.

I have two machines both VMs. Now one of the machines is running an instance of vsftp and on this machine i have set up the installation directory under /home/rohit/ftp. Now when i try doing a ftp based installation on my 2nd VM machine after reaching root password stage it gives me that error that i mentioned.

It goes till that stage successfully but all of a sudden then it throws me that error. So please explain about this.

Thanks in advance.
