While trying to perform a partitionless install, I got through all of the configuration (Disk Druid, Workstation.......). When the installer nearly finished creating the "loopback filesystem" it crashed and popped a new window with the following text in it. #### Start report #### Traceback (innermost last); File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui", line 20, in run rc - self.todo.doinstall() File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1469, in doInstall self.fstab.makeFilesystem() File fstab.py", line 645, in makeFilesystems (self.progressWindow, _("Loopback"), File "isys.py", line 78, in ddfile os.write(fd,buf) ### end visible portion of complaint # there appeared to be 1 to 3 lines more, judging by the scroll bar, but the machine was locked solid. This was hand noted and typed, so, there may be typos..... I tried to use FIPS to create a new partition and that would not work. So, I tried the less desirable partitionless install. Still, no LINUX. Machine: DELL Deminsion XPS R350 w/ 64 megs RAM and 9.8G HD Running Win98. 5.6 Gigs free - install should have work, I think.
