Installing 7.0 as a new install on a system that had been running 6.1, I designated the / and /usr partitions to be reformatted (leaving /home alone). After formatting those partitions, the installer died when getting ready to install packages. The error window said to report this as a bug. Here's the trace from Anaconda that was saved to a floppy: Traceback (innermost last): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 20, in run rc = self.todo.doInstall () File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1480, in doInstall if self.method.systemMounted (self.fstab, self.instPath, self.hdList.selected()): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/image.py", line 46, in systemMounted self.loopbackFile = mntPoint + fstab.filesystemSpace(mntPoint)[0][0] + \ File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/fstab.py", line 258, in filesystemSpace space.append((mntpoint, isys.fsSpaceAvailable(topMount + '/' + mntpoint))) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 16, in fsSpaceAvailable return _isys.devSpaceFree(fsystem) SystemError: (2, 'No such file or directory') Local variables in innermost frame: fsystem: /mnt/sysimage//win ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed> The machine is a Dell XPS with a 500 MHz Pentium III, a 20 GB disk (more or less; I'm not at the machine right now) with a 5 GB Windows partition, and 384 MB of RAM. It has an ATAPI CDROM drive and a SCSI CD-RW drive. I wrote the CD with the CD-RW drive; the checksums on the .iso verified correctly and the CD seems to be OK. Please let me know if you need more information about the machine.
