Description Karim 2000-10-01 06:10:46 UTC
The installation fails during "Reading Package Information" with a 
traceback error which involves anaconda.

I am installing linux 7.0 off my hard drive, and I have tried every 
possible way ( customized, server, workstation).  

I have read some reports saying that you have to specify the IP address 
for your nic to get it to work, I did that but it didn't help.

I have exhausted all kinds of changes to the installation to make it work 
but nothing seems to affect the error.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is what the installer had to say about the error:

Any ideas! I don't know what else to do :)
