Description Need Real Name 2000-11-02 11:06:17 UTC 
Installed using anaconda update disk. 

Installation seems to proceed normally right through to the very end when 
the information below is displayed. The system will not boot.

This system was running fine on RedHat 6.2 until I tried to upgrade to 7.0 
and the upgrade crashed.

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py",

There was a problem installing the package which containged the passwd command. 
If you burned your own CD you may want to try again, it appears there could have
been an error with the current CD.
