Description Jeremy Katz 2006-10-09 20:51:13 UTC 
Graphical HTTP installs hang if you only have 256 megs of RAM.  Since that's the
recommended memory, this really should work.

Comment 6 Jim Cornette 2006-10-09 23:12:11 UTC 
Coming from bug 209036 I can add that I was able to install in graphics mode
instead of text mode using xdriver=vesa because of the mga-driver problem. I did
not select the inn package which caused the hangs I experienced with two
previous text installs.
I don't know if inn was causing the excess 98% usage for anaconda, but it is the
tickler package unless it failed at installing the package after inn was
successfully installed.
If I recall, inn was displayed in the text installer at less than 100% installed.

In my case, both times the packages showed 100% installed... Maybe it's
scriptlets in my case? I'm guessing that big packages like glibc and kde would
both have at least one scriptlet at the end of installing the RPM...
Comment 8 Jeremy Katz 2006-10-16 20:36:06 UTC 
Put a workaround into anaconda that should hopefully make this less likely to be
hit.
Comment 9 Stewart Adam 2006-10-16 21:31:00 UTC 
Just out of curiosity, what was it?
