That made me think of what I think is the biggest problem, or at least the most glaring problem with Fedora. You install the OS and then you go back to install something via the control panels and it doesn't work. You get an error. As far as I've seen, on the two boxes I've installed Fedora, it's absolutely impossible to install software from the CD (minus mounting the CD and manually installing RPMs - I'm talking about going through the standard Add/Remove applications route) after the initial install.

What version of redhat-config-packages are you seeing these errors in?
And what kind of errors? I had CD installation problems that were fixed in
the latest package -- redhat-config-packages-1.2.7-1. The bugzilla entry
for this is at http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109276
