Description Eduardo Noriega 2001-02-20 07:20:26 UTC

If I am installing Linux RedHat 7.0, and I create two partitions, one for 
Linux and the other for Windows (formated with FAT16). When I choose the 
package to install, I received 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 ()
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1480, in 
doInstall
    if self.method.systemMounted (self.fstab, self.instPath, 
self.hdList.selected()):
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/image.py", line 46, in 
systemMounted
    self.loopbackFile = mntPoint + fstab.filesystemSpace(mntPoint)[0][0] + 
\
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/fstab.py", line 258, in 
filesystemSpace
    space.append((mntpoint, isys.fsSpaceAvailable(topMount + '/' + 
mntpoint)))
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 16, in fsSpaceAvailable
    return _isys.devSpaceFree(fsystem)
SystemError: (2, 'No such file or directory')

Local variables in innermost frame:
fsystem: /mnt/sysimage//windows

<failed>

Otherwise, if I don't select the specifics packages I want, I perform a 
normal instalation and it works fine, but it doesn't install apache, 
postgreSQL, php, perl, etc. I solved this doing an Upgrading. Doing an 
Upgrading I could install all the packages I wanted, but I don't know why 
it didn't allow me to select the packages at the first time.
