Description of problem: I just installed from the fc6 prelease x86_64 DVD. I made it through most of the screens OK, but then when I got to the initial package selection page, the "Office apps" group is already checked by default, and I tried to check the "Software Development" group just below it (though it is possible I missed and the mouse was outside the check box - I was just getting ready to look closer to see if I had hit the box when I got the anaconda crash popup). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): whatever is on the prerelease DVD from the torrent. How reproducible: Only tried it once. I went directly to the "customize package selection" button on my 2nd try, and that seemed to work OK. Got installed with no more anaconda crashes. Steps to Reproduce: 1. install x86_64 prelease fc6 from DVD 2. try to click on "Software Development" toggle in initial package page. 3. see crash popup Actual results: crash Expected results: check box selected Additional info: On a possibly related note. I could swear I used to be able to right click on a package group in the custom selection page and pick "select all optional packages" and that would have the side effect of alaso selecting that package group if it wasn't already selected. That didn't seem to work. If the group wasn't selected, I had to first click the toggle to select it before I could right click to select all optional (just part of the "Let's keep making it harder and harder to just install everything" philosophy I guess :-).

Just glancing at the anaconda trace I see it talking about IP stuff, not package selection. I hope it didn't do something like fail to write the new dump to the floppy and just leave the old one from my last crash with static IP problems on the disk (I really did hear the disk going and see the lights flash when I told it to save the dump to floppy though).

I have similar experience as Mr Horsley, though I have i386 w/ realtek eth0 and error also occurs after trying to add extras repository.
Can you try with the updates.img that was referenced in the release announcement?
I just tried installer again with the updated image on a floppy and my problem with clicking on "Software Development" seems to be fixed. Just for grins, I tried going through initial installer again without the updated, and once again it crashed when I clicked "Software Development", so it does indeed seem to be fixed by the update.
Great, thanks for the quick verification!
