Description Jonathan Fourie 2001-01-17 22:22:52 UTC
I was installing Red hat linux on a gateway system.
Everything including the partitioning was done automatically for me.

Later during the process I got the following error
------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", 
line 20, in run
    rc = self.todo.doInstall ()

--------------------------------------------------------------
I then decided to save to floppy and it saved it as anacdump.txt

Thank you please help....
aslo note...
I downloaded all the files from Redhat.com ftp site and copied it to cd 
myself. The directory structure has been changed slightly to accomodate 
the amount of space on one disc.

Thank you

Comment 2 Michael Fulbright 2001-01-19 17:13:07 UTC
Your CD is probably not in the correct format for the installer. Try using the
ISO images provided and burn CDs.

Comment 3 Jonathan Fourie 2001-01-20 01:12:42 UTC
I did use the ISO images provided----boot.img from the images directory to be 
exact.
