Any suggestions are quite  welcome ;)

This is fixed in later builds of anaconda.

Comment 8 cyrill 2007-12-18 07:27:51 UTC
So could you please a bit guide me what to do? (my prev linux experience is 
gentoo based and i never ever worked with yum).

Comment 9 cyrill 2007-12-18 08:43:28 UTC
I mean when I've loaded with FC8-KDE-LiveCD what to type to upgrade anaconda 
to be able to install FC8 without problem?

Comment 11 cyrill 2007-12-18 16:22:24 UTC
it seems I found how to do it... trying to update...

Comment 12 cyrill 2007-12-18 17:05:32 UTC
well, it didn't help. now anaconda fails on trying to write bootloader. I 
didn't get crash log but i do remember it failed on attempt to unlink file... 
will try to reproduce.

If the issue is resolved, it doesn't seem to be available. I experienced the
exception while installing from Fedora-8-Live-x86_64 image downloaded
03-11-2008. I checked the current version:

[root@localhost ~]# su -c 'yum list anaconda'

Then I tried to update it:

[root@localhost ~]# su -c 'yum update anaconda.x86_64'

Anaconda installation exception

I can think of 100 things I'd rather be spending my nights and weekends doing
than trying to get an operating system installed.
