[Fedora-ia64-list] [Fedora-ia64] Network install of fedora-secondary/development/ia64 unable to read from repository

I downloaded the boot.iso file from secondary.fedoraproject.org in directory
/pub/fedora-secondary/development/ia64/os/images, burned it to disc, and
attempted a network install over the weekend.  All went more-or-less okay
until the repository selection step, when I either got a message "Unable to
read package metadata from repository" or end up crashing the install script
trying to modify the target repository.

For the "development" (rawhide?) version at the above location (or its
mirrors), how *should* I select and/or modify the default entries at the
repository selection step of the network install process ?

This is clearly a shot-in-the-dark, but having done a web search for
anything related, I wonder could this be fallout from advisory
FEDORA-2008-7748 (PackageKit) updating repo definitions that point to new
URLs for the repositories ?  (The advisory seems to have been issued
10-Sep-2008, while the boot.iso image file I downloaded appears to have been
created on 15-Jul-2008.   (If I'm way off here, sorry).

Any help on how to point my network install to the right fedora-secondary
development repository for ia64 would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

-- Jim
