(In reply to comment #23)
> Khushboo, thanks for verifying this bug.

FYI, Fedora20 Alpha has below version of anaconda-20.18-1.fc20.ppc64.rpm, which already contains necessary fixes.

Comment 7 Gustavo Luiz Duarte 2013-10-14 14:54:46 UTC
Thanks Samantha.

Closing this bug as it seems to be fixed on Fedora 20 Alpha.
