The installation fails upon installing all the packages (the progress bar 
shows a 100% success) with this error message:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py",

<failed>

I installed the new anaconda update but I'm still receiving the same 
errors.

The system spec.:
p 200 mmx
64 meg.

Installed from cd RH 7.

The total size of my package installation is 1083 m.

Here's my partition layout:
/ - 50 m.
/usr - 2400 m.
/opt - 500 m.
/home - 800 m.
/var - 100 m.
/tmp - 100 m.
<swap> - 100 m.




Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Normal setup procedure.
2.Anaconda crash after installation.
3.

Your / partition should be at least 150M.
