Cannot read package data from installation media. Media error? * ERROR: No proposal

I installed from Hard Drive so maybe this will help. Burn the boot.iso to CD and boot from that. When you reach the boot loader there is two ways to install. The technically correct way to do it did not work for me, but this is what the manual said to do: 1. Give boot parameter of: install=/dev/hda1 (replace with whatever partition you want to install from) 2. Select Manual Installation This is supposed to load the install program linuxrc. But it did not work for me for some reason. Whenever I did that it had problems loading the kernel. So here was my workaround. 1. Give boot parameter of: install= (leave blank!) 2. Select Install option This will look at the boot parameter and realize "Wait a minute, he forgot to give the rest of the argument". It will then freak out and dump you into linuxrc with a menu asking what you with to do. Select the option that says (I think) "Install / Repair" I forget the exact wording, but whatever it is it is saying install. Next it will give you the option to select your installation medium, you have 3 options, CD-ROM, Hard Drive, Network (3 guesses as to which one you want). Next all you have to do is give it your partition device name /dev/hd(alpha)(number) then give the relative path to the file folder. That should do it.
