I get "no package available" errors when I reach the part of the installation sequence to install hda-ctl and hda-platform. The preceding portions of the installation seemed to proceed normally. This is a new installation on a new drive. Many thanks for any guidance you can provide.

Thank you for replying so promptly.
The first command (fpaste --systeminfo) results:
{explanation of usage of fpaste command}
fpaste: error: no such option: --systeminfo
What do you mean by "return the URL"? {Sorry, new to this}
The second command (clean metadata) results:
It removed 11 metadata files and 4 sqlite files. Running install thereafter produced 5 update files, but then the same errors as before.
No package hda-ctl available.
No package hda-platform available.

You missed a step I believe as I don't see the Amahi repo installed.
Code: Select all
rpm -Uvh http://f21.amahi.org/noarch/hda-release-6.9.0-1.noarch.rpm
That's why hda-ctrl and hda-platform aren't available. Once you do this command, they should be available.

Are you doing this as root user?
If so, can you do this and get a successful connection:
If not successful, they you have networking issues and that's preventing installation from continuing. You will need to resolve this problem.

I am very sorry for wasting your time. It was a networking issue, as you concluded. I had prematurely disabled DHCP assignment by the router before completing the installation. Of course it couldn't reach the internet. Turned it back on, rebooted everything, and completed installation.
Thanks for your patience.
