Not thinking clearly, I did move the floppy from the PC to the UNIX machine.
Here is a past of the Traceback.
Traceback (innermost last):

After changing the second partition on a 30 gig drive to "/" for linux I got the warning message about the performance hit because it was a MS-DOS FAT. Accepted the warning, and pressed next. A screen poped up and said there was a bug that needed to be reported. I copied the report to floppy, and the machine began to reboot. The first part of the saved file says Traceback (innermost last): {} File "/usr/bin/anaconda" line 438 , in ?{} intf.run(todo, test = test) ---More follows, but the following is probably the important part. frame{}:fstype:vfat:{} /mnt/space{}devName: /tmp/hda5{}readonly{{}}device:/tmp/hda5{} {} ToDo object: the number of graphic characters becomes very large. The {} represents a graphic character block in the notepad display
