I have one 13Gb hard drive using FAT32 and I was trying to install Redhat 7.0-respin (whatever that means:) on a loopback filesystem.  The 
installation was a custom install with just a few of the default packages unselected.  I also saw this on another machine when using the plain 
workstation install.  When it crashed the program wrote a file called Anacdump.txt on a floppy disk.

Comment 1 Michael Fulbright 2000-11-09 21:23:18 UTC
What steps are required to reproduce this problem?

Comment 2 Need Real Name 2000-11-09 22:07:31 UTC
1.  Workstation install
2.  When you start with Disk Druid, mount the FAT32 partition as /

The installer creates the DOS file and either while its formatting the filesystem or when it starts to install packages the installer crashes.

Thank you for the additional information.
