Description Karim 2000-10-08 14:05:23 UTC
Hello Everybody

Does anybody out there know how to solve the Traceback Error. I am sure 
everybody is familiar with it, if that is not true check 17994 and 18163 
which I submitted, the former includes the text of the error. It occurs 
during the installation of Redhat at the "Reading Package Information"?

It is complaining about anaconda. I have tried everything possible to fix 
this problem. Including downloading all of the files from ftp.redhat.com 
instead of a different mirror ( I figured they are bound to have right 
files!) 

I also don't know why installation runs in text mode even though I request 
graphical mode.

I am installing from the hard drive which is an 15 GB hardrive partitoned 
4 for Linux and 11 for FAT32.

Machine Specifications:
PIII 650E overclocked to 884.
Asus CUSL2 m/board with 815e intel chipset
Nvidia Geforce2 MX video card
SB Live! Value
Fujitsu 15GB HD

Please let me know what can I do to resolve this problem.

Thank you in advance

This is due to a corrupt downloaded image. Be sure to use the 'binary' ftp
option.
