From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050911 Firefox/1.0.6 (Debian package 1.0.6-5) Description of problem: The CD I burned the Fedora Core 4 installation disk 1 had an error. Installation goes smoothly until anaconda tries reading a package that was not readable on the CD. It pops a dialog showing only two buttons 'reboot' and 'retry'. I would have choose the 'ignore' button if there were one. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Burn a FC4 CD Disk 1 with an error 2. Install normally, selecting the component that produces the erroneous read. Actual Results: The dialog only proposes 'reboot' and 'retry' options. Expected Results: I would have liked a 'ignore' button that would have skip this package but kept the installation going. I'm sure it wouldn't have caused troubles as the unreadable package was ghostview, not mandatory for a running system. Additional info:
The problem with this solution is that the package corrupted might be a dependency of a already installed package.The installer doesnt have any list or package specific knowledge of what counts as 'important'. In a future release, a rescue mode might help is such situations http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AnacondaWorkItems#rescue Meanwhile, checking that the disk is ok using the mediacheck option available in the start of the installation would help avoid this.
