Description Fiji 2000-12-04 12:55:10 UTC

When installing REDHAT Linux 7.0 anconda shuts down when searching rpm 
pagages. Dumping the text below.

A posible cause could be that when you download the instimge directory to 
a FAT32 partition it results that there a 2 Files which windows considers 
igual because it does not deferenciate between Capital leters and small 
leters (as i know nor does DOS):

GTK.py    and  GTK.pyc 
gtk.py         gtk.pyc 

They are located in the /instimage/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages 
directory.

Passing to QA to reproduce.

Comment 2 Brock Organ 2000-12-04 21:34:35 UTC

internal tests using the new downloadable ISOs will solve this problem ... it
should be a feature for the next release ... thanks for your report!
