Description Need Real Name 2000-09-30 07:21:07 UTC
The installer crashes after formatting if I select packages individually. 
If I just do a default workstation install without messing with individual
packages it works. I tried under both text and graphical install. Some
other bug reports point the finger at adding FAT filesystems during
install, but I'm pretty sure tried selecting packages individually without
adding my FAT filesystems during the install and it still failed.  I did
add in my FAT filesystems when I did the default workstation install and it
worked.

Could it have something to do with the two cd install? The default install
didn't touch the second disk, but my custom package selection had a few
packages that are on CD2.  (wget, joystick, vim-X11 vim-enhanced,  off the
top of my head...)

Here's the stack trace that looks like many others:
