The CDROM drive on the laptop is indeed a bit flaky these days.
I re-seated the drive several times.
Finally, I was able to use the "FC-development-i386-rescuecd.iso"
As suggested by John Reiser, I will try an install directly from
RawHide.
Next, I am attempting an FTP install from:
ftp://ftp.uninett.no/pub/linux/Fedora/core/development/i386/os
I hope this will go okay. At this point at least Anaconda is running.
I am crossing-my-fingers. :)
Thanks,
Ernest
