I am trying to upgrade 6.1 to 6.2, mainly to install GNOME. I am using the anaconda updated install diskettes. In the early stages of the install, I get a popup warning that /tmp/sdb was not configured. Then at the screen when I can choose components to upgrade, I do not choose, so that everything will be installed. I get a message that python crashed - see the GNOME applications crash page (they told me to submit this here), and asked me if I would like to submit a bug report. Whether I say yes or no, the install hangs here. Specifically, the python crash is error 23, due to a segmentation fault.
what kind of hardware? Does this happen under Red Hat Linux 7?
Well, it took you six months to answer me, so I waited six months to answer you. The problem, which I solved by myself, was that /tmp was too small to accomodate the files for the upgrade. I tried to work around it, to no avail. So I backed up the system, wiped it, repartitioned the disk, and installed 6.2
