Are these unprintable characters the name of the directory you want your repository to be in?

You are not following the instructions I gave.

1. Make a directory to hold your new repository. Let's call that
"/path/to/your/repo". Make a further subdirectory of that, called "dvd".
Command needed to do these:

# mkdir -p /path/to/your/repo/dvd

2. Mount your DVD ISO image on this "dvd" directory. Command needed to
do this:

# mount -r -o loop /path/to/FC3-i386-DVD.iso /path/to/your/repo/dvd

Then follow the rest of the instructions I have in the previous email.

Paul.
