Hi all,
I would like to upgrade an existing F11 system to F12. However, the
installer throws up an error message:
----

directory. Please ensure that your install tree has been properly generated.
Cannot retrieve repository data (respond.xml) for respository

I've seen this the last few Fedora upgrades. As a result, I usually end up
doing the upgrade with yum. However this time I am changing architecture
(686->86_64) and would prefer to do it from the DVD, as I don't believe that
using yum to do this is supported.

did you verify the DVD so that it properly matches the sha256sum?
Generally I burn these things at the slowest rate possible so I have
least likelihood of problems in whatever cd/dvd reader I put it into.
