I was attempting to install linux 7.0 from my harddisk. I downloaded all the files seperatly using the binary mode in my ftp client. Created a bootdisk and started to install... Then when he was reading the packages Anaconda wasn't happy anymore. This is what he said: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda.real", line 438, in ? intf.run(todo, test = test) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1030, in run File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/textw/packages_text.py", line 33, in __call__ File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 539, in getCompsList File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/harddrive.py", line 43, in readComps File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py", line 459, in __init__ File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py", line 428, in readCompsFile File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py", line 101, in __getitem__ KeyError: LPRng Local variables in innermost frame: self: <comps.HeaderList instance at 8230cc8> item: LPRng ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iharddrive HardDriveInstallMethod p (dp5 S'fstype' p6 S'vfat' p7 sS'isMounted' p8 I1 sS'fnames' p9 (dp10 <failed> The harddisk I was reading from was a FAT32 with win2000 on it. And a free harddisk was my target for installing linux. I tried different options for partitionating and all ended in the same result. Any suggestions?
This usually happens when the files are corrupted in some way. You need to make sure you have downloaded all of the files in a binary safe way.
Do I really have to download all the files again, is there no way of telling where it went wrong and what files to re-download?
