Description of problem:
I'm trying to upgrade a RH 7.1 machine to fedora. After detecting the
mouse/keyboard/display, anaconda stops with "install exited
abnormally". The install is supposed to be via ftp.

Can you verify your media following the instructions at
http://rhlinux.redhat.com/anaconda/mediacheck.html?

Comment 2 Christian Schumann 2004-01-05 09:11:31 UTC
Yes, I can. I used the floppy on other computers without problems,
too. These were alle non-SMP-machines.

newer release of Fedora Core, please reopen and add any additional
