Comment 3 Adam Tkac 2007-02-23 10:30:16 UTC
this could be fixed in anaconda >= 11.2.0.26-1 . Could you test it with this (or
newer) version?

Regards, Adam

Comment 4 ericm24x7 2007-02-23 18:30:01 UTC
I just ran today's build (2.23.07)
anaconda-11.2.0.26-1.x86_64.rpm
Failed.

Will test again on the next iteration/build.

Comment 5 Adam Tkac 2007-02-26 12:54:25 UTC
Yes, problem was in vnc's rfb library. This could be fixed in vnc-*4.1.2-13.fc7
