I get a repeatable anaconda exception installing from FC-5-Test1-20051120.1-i386-disc2-ftp.iso

Actual Results:  Anaconda exception

Expected Results:  The joy of Linux

Should be disc1, obviously.

Stop trying to deselect things ;) 

More seriously, yeah, the package selection code is verrryy fragile for
deselecting things at present.

Comment 4 James Morris 2005-11-22 00:27:23 UTC
Ok, seems to work ok now if I don't deselect anything.

Comment 5 Ville Skyttä 2005-11-27 13:43:19 UTC
Wouldn't this be something that should be noted in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FC5Test1CommonProblems ?

(The wiki page says it'll crash if all packages are unselected, but in my case
it crashed like described in the initial comment here as a result of deselecting
only the printing group and leaving everything else at defaults.)

Comment 6 Chris Lumens 2005-11-29 15:12:28 UTC
The wiki page has been updated to reflect this.
