Thanks a lot Kwan and Clint. The error regarding metadata happened when I was using CD ISOs. I had set of ISOs in web accessible dir and the KS file had an entry 'url --url <ip.addr>/iso-dir/'. The DVD download should be complete within few minutes. I will try it tomorrow. Still, it would be great to get CDs working. Clint, thanks for the tips regarding repo/package management. - CS.
