Description Răzvan Sandu 2007-11-11 17:58:17 UTC 
Description of problem:

Fedora 8 installation fails when language is set to Romanian.

Crash occurs after the "Preparing installation from source" phase - the error
message is pretty long and cryptic, but seems Unicode encoding-related.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-11.3.0.50-2


How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Begin a standard Fedora 8 install from the official DVD, in text mode.
2. Choose Romanian as installation language.
3. Choose Romanian (ro_win) as keyboard.
4. Note that anaconda crashes after the "Preparing installation from source" phase.
5. Repeat installation using English settings, in the same conditions - the
installation will perform normally.
  
Actual results:
Anaconda crashes when language is set to Romanian.

Expected results:
Installation should perform normally.

Additional info:
Please note that there is an important issue about Romanian language settings:
see bug #353721 ,  bug #337271.
