Hide Forgot
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.4; Linux) KHTML/3.4.2 (like Gecko) Description of problem: After saving the exception data to a floppy the user should be permitted to save it again to a second floppy. Floppy disks are very unreliable and it's not uncommon to have read errors. It's very annoying to have to go through the entire install procedure to repeat a crash because a floppy disk error prevented reading the data. It would be much nicer if after the first floppy failed I could click on a button labeled "make another copy". Also it would be nice to support USB mass storage devices. Floppy disks are becoming obsolete. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Cause anaconda to crash and save to floppy. Additional info:
USB storage device support would be nice, I agree. We have recently added support to use scp to send the traceback to a remote machine. You might find that useful. It could still be more forgiving of mistakes, but I'll work on it.
Saving to a remote host via scp is now working well. In the future, we'll investigate using a USB device for saving instead of/in addition to floppies.
