Description of problem: 
I booted from a local CD (diskboot.iso), and tried to install from 
FTP. 
 
After a custom package selection, Anaconda crashed with the 
following message:

Actual Results:  I had to reboot and start over.  On the second 
attempt, I chose a full install (to not wast too much time), but it 
seems to work now.
