Description of problem: If there is a problem with a package, anaconda exits and aborts the installation process then and there. It should give a choice to the user to ask the package to be ignored. It does not look good for the system installation going almost till the end and thenyou have to reinstall from scratch. My installation for FC2 failed at the third CD while getting the package jed. I had downloaded packages from the Calgary mirror. I had asked it to install everything. Then I chose the packages I needed and got through with the installation later installing additional packages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get a package wrongly written on the cd somehow corrupted 2. Install fresh linux. And it stops at teh corrupted package and aborts the process. Does not boot as grub not properly installed. 3. Actual results: It aborts without having installed the boot loader Expected results: Should ask whether to ignore the package or at least install the boot loader so that something can be done. But better to ask to ignore like one has in Suse's YaST Additional info:
The cds were media checked and no error reported too... Happened twice with me.. Surhud
Ignoring can lead to other problems, though, if the package which has a problem is required for another or for something else used by the installation.
