I dont really know if this is a duplicate of the other anaconda errors but im sending it in case it isnt.

Two problems:

1) unable to get graphical install (when pressing [enter] on boot floppy it simply loads text mode (not really a huge problem but annoying)

2) anaconda quits after i specify whether or not to format the drives (it prints somrthing like scanning RPMs then crashes)

traceback follows:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/bin/anaconda.real", line 438, in ?
    intf.run(todo, test = test)
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1030, in run
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/textw/packages_text.py", line 33, in __call__
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 539, in getCompsList
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/harddrive.py", line 43, in readComps

  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py", line 360, in readCompsFile
TypeError: comp file version 3 or 4 expected

Local variables in innermost frame:
arch2: i686

note i am running:

Athlon 550
128 Mb ram
Abit KA7 motherboard
Voodoo 5 5500

this is a clean install (downloaded from ftp.mirror.ac.uk)
