This bug is with 7.0, not 7.1. Changing versions. This is a dupe of bug #18032. A install updates disk is available from ftp://people.redhat.com/ewt/anaconda-vfat-label-fix.img To use it, dd this disk to a floppy, boot a standard boot disk into the install by typing "linux updates" at the syslinux boot prompt.The install process will ask you to insert the updates disk when it's needed. |
