Cannot complete installation

I have gotten to the hda-install step but it keeps failing with the following

Code: Select all

[root@localhost ~]# hda-install XYZXYZ Creating verbose log file '/root/hda-install.log'. (use it for submitting support requests or bug reports). Retrieving install code ... Install code looks good. Stopping background software updates ... Background software updates stopped. Installing required packages (this may take a while depending on your download speed) ... fedora-release ... yum-fastestmirror ... WARNING: rpm install failed ... please run yum -y install yum-fastestmirror by hand until it installs correctly fcgi php dhcp openvpn monit perl-Authen-PAM ... etc.
it keeps going through packages giving the same install failed message
I have reinstalled fedora 9 three times now just in case. I have an internet connection and am writing this from the install machine. If I try doing as suggested and run "yum -y install yum-fastestmirror" It tries downloading the packages but fails the checksum and goes to another mirror until it decides to give up.

this should be enough:

Code: Select all

rpm -Uvh http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/updates/9/i386.newkey/yum-3.2.21-2.fc9.noarch.rpm hda-install YOURCODEHERE
or now that we patched it:

Code: Select all

rpm -Uvh http://f9.amahi.org/i386/hdactl-2.32-1.i386.rpm hda-install YOURCODEHERE
