Bug 20496

During a text only install (I'm doing a new install of 7.0 over
a 6.2 install that was working great.... but whose upgrading was
failing due to file systems supposedly not being shut down 
properly... so as per RedHat installation support I'm doing a clean
install during which I reformat the / /usr and /var partitions)
of RedHat 7.0, I am repeatedly getting the following error message
dialog box after doing a custom selection of desired packages:

EXCEPTION OCCURRED

An internal error occurred in the installation program.
Please report this error to Red Hat (through the bugzilla.redhat.com
web site) as soon as possible.  The information on this failure
may be saved to a floppy disk, and will help Red Hat in fixing
the problem.  

Contents of the stuff saved to disk are as follows (sorry 
for the bad formatting ... now my intel box is dead so
I am copy / pasting while on a Mac):

Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.
