Let us begin by stating the Winbloze 2000 Server is installed on one
partition, and RH 6.1 on the other.

When trying to do a "linux updates text" install using the latest boot
disk, and latest anaconda disk, the following error occurs:

Output from anaconda:

Exception occurred:

1) It was during an upgrade
2) Pentium 200 MHz non mmx, 96MB RAM, 10GB HD, Acer 2x2x6 CD/RW Drive
3) Cheapbytes copy of the image downloaded from your ftp site (image was
compared, and is an accurate and correct and true copy of your iso)

Far be it from me to make any intelligent comments, but, may I suggest a
few additional features I would like to see in your next ISO release:

1) Anaconda has broken and required update disks in the past two releases;
why not include on the CDROM a way to boot up which will allow for an
anaconda update disk to be provided. This way we need only futz around with
one update disk, the anaconda disk. Dont tell me this is impossible, we all
know it is. There ought be no need to download a new "boot disk" when an
update to anaconda is needed.

Why does anaconda keep breaking? Let us relate some Jewish Mysticism here
Anaconda is a type of snake, and traditionally a snake is the most negative
animal according to Jewish beleive. Predicated upon the fact, it was the
very snake which enticed Eve to eat of the tree of knowledge. Further the
word snake (in Hebrew, nehash), has a numerical value of 365. Exactly the
number of negative commandments in the olde testament. The word nehash (3
hebrew letters) can also be related via numerical analysis to the word for
death (3 letters also, mavet). Need I continue?

On a more non mystical level, an Anaconda is exactly the type of snake
which "constricts" at night it's prey. This is not the type of imagery I
would wish to envision relative to a server I am installing Linux on.

Perhaps you ought rename the anaconda program to something else.
