From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.0 (like Gecko) Kubuntu 6.04 Dapper Description of problem: This is probably not unexpected ... I just tried an HTTP install of FC5T1 from mirrorservice.org, and it seems to have an incomplete set of RPMs. So I went through the whole configuration process, and then when it started to download things I it didn't find libXext and exited. I can't see that this can be much better ... but at least it should fail in a less scary way. I'll attach the "anacdump.txt" file that I copied to my other laptop (cool feature!). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to do a network install of FC5T1 using an incompletely synchronised mirror.

Yeah, handling of package download errors is currently very poor. On the list to be sure is fixed before release
This should be handled properly now
