Description Need Real Name 2000-10-06 07:37:53 UTC

'Custom' installation will fail if the partition layout does not include
some combination of /usr, /opt and /var (haven't had time to figure out
which). Having tried with only /boot and / and getting a load of anaconda
messages for my trouble, making the full set of partitions allowed the
custom installation to work.

Comment 1 Need Real Name 2000-10-06 08:00:10 UTC

Having tested on another system, failure seems to occur is partitions are not
formatted as part of the installation process. Anaconda dump attached.
