From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 95)


Installers needs to write a new partiontable and then it creates a 
bugreport itself, before it restarts.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Bugreporter give this output:

Traceback (innermost last):

Fixed in our internal CVS.

You should be able to reboot and continue to install.

Comment 2 Jan Gerrit Kootstra 2001-02-23 21:39:18 UTC

Thanks, the installer did continue without a problem.
