I am installing on a dell inspiron 5000 laptop and after the HD is reformatted just as the OS is being installed I get the following message:

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()):

    self.loopbackFile =

Sorry about the formatting, I have to use a windows machine to enter bugs about linux ... Bill might find this to be very funny, however I do not.
