Tace dump from anaconda
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. Please let us know if this fixes this problem. Dupe of 18032, but I won't make the poor reporter deal with another mail about it. I tried the upgrade and the problem persists. Attached is a copy of the anaconda dump. How much space is needed for the Linux partition. Would automatic partioning work if I increased the second partition to 4.0 gig. HEEEELLLLPPPP!!!!
