I'm trying to install Redhat 7.0 workstation on my IBM machine running on a celeron.  Trying to do a partitionless install, on the main harddrive 
with a Win98 Fat32 filesystem from the RPMS, stored on that HD.  When I run the installer, everything works fine in the configuration and 
setup 
fazes, until it actually starts the install. Shortly after the actual installation starts, I get the following error message

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/bin/anaconda.real", line 438, in ?
    intf.run(todo, test = test)
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1030, in run

I checked to make sure that I had downloaded all the files, which I have, and there is no file called redhat.img that I've found anywhere that I 
need to download.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Ran the installer again
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  Exact same error message.  I didn't do anything special in the setup, just went staight through for a workstation install on a 
DOS FAT

Are you trying to do a partitionless install to the same partition that holds
the image you are installing from? If so this is not supported in 7.0.

Comment 2 Jared Lundell 2001-03-09 22:31:19 UTC
Yes, I am installing on the same partition that has the image.  I only have one partition on my drive, so is there anyway to install Redhat without getting a 
cd?

Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2001-04-02 15:48:39 UTC
If you have a CD burner you could burn CDs from ISOs you download.

This issue is resolved in the current Wolverine Beta for our next release.
