Fedora Core 5: Add/ Remove Software error.

hi, i have just install Fedora Core 5 into my computer (dual OS with WinXP). and this is the second time in a week that i install, format, and re-install both OS because of this same problem:

when i click on the add/remove software, i receive an error msg saying:

                      Unable to retrieve software information.

the first time i encounter this, i check through my cds, and i found out that my disc2 and disc3 actually FAILED the pre-install test.. so i download the iso again, use another software to burn the image, and tested all PASSED..
but i still receive this error msg...

can anyone tell me what is actually wrong and how do i solve this problem?

tks
