Hi!  

My installation of RedHat 7 failed and it asked me to send you
this.  I did have 6.2 running fine, but have reformatted that
partition completely..  I've tried both graphical and text
installation processes and they both fail just after formatting
the partition (before writing the packages to disk).

The generated bug report is below:
-----------------------------------------

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 438, in ?
    intf.run(todo, test = test)

-----------------------------------------

I am installing from a redhat CD I burned from the 
iso files found on your ftp site.

I would very much appreciate a prompt response - I need
linux and don't want to have to put 6.2 back on it.

Thanks, Adrian.

Errata update available which fixes that problem.
