Description GekkeHond 2000-11-17 17:50:50 UTC
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):

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?

Comment 1 Michael Fulbright 2000-11-17 20:31:44 UTC
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.

Comment 2 GekkeHond 2000-11-19 23:25:44 UTC
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?
