After error occured I redownloaded all BASE and RPMS files
still didn't work
Could it be a corrupted boot.img?

Downloaded Boot.img again and installed to A:\ with RAWRITE still have same 
problem.  

Note:  In the beggining of instalation process when it asks what language 
<ENGLISH>  There seems to be a problem there also. "OOPS" goes in place 
of "ENGLISH" and there is some code that shows on the screen "sorry couldn't 
copy".  But pressing enter gets you to the next menu.  It would seem that the 
info was corupted but I FTPed the entire BASE RPMS and Boot.img again?  From a 
different source yet the same error occurs??

BASE and RPMS reside on the VFAT32 Win ME Partition could that be a problem

Note: I am new to lynix so I'm sure its something stupid I'm doing

I am having a very similary problem with installing anaconda. The text of the error message I received is pasted below.

I'm trying to install RH Linux 7.0 on a Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop computer with a PIII 850 processor, 256 MB RAM and 16MB video ram.

I downloaded the anaconda fix from red hat and I got a NEW error so what could 
be the problem now? The problem file is indexhtml instead of dev.  

And yes I redownloaded  indexhtml 3 times in Binary mode. ****Please Help**** 
this is killing me I've tried like 30 times to install this program.  In just 
about every way that RedHat has said possible.  I've used you bug fix I've read 
all of your liturature and still just like about 2000 other people the problem 
still exists.  I'm not trying to bad mouth you guys but am trying to figure 
this out.

The new error is:

I got it to load!!!!! But now When I re boot I have a problem booting I get an 
error 10 X 0

First, jagnew.edu problem is fixed by an errata on the website.

Second, to the original bug reporter - when do you see the error message in your
last post?

WHEN I BOOT MY COMPUTER I GET:
L  WITH A BLINKING CURSOR AND NO ACTIVITY

WHEN I USE THE START-UP DISK THAT I MADE FROM THE INSTALTION PROCESS LILO LOADS 
ON BOOT.  THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS.

ERROR
10x0

ALSO WHAT SHOULD I DO DIFFERENTLY TO HAVE MY MBR GIVE ME AN OPTION OF WHAT OPP 
SYS TO USE.  I HAD THAT OPTION BEFORE I INSTALLED AND NOW I DON'T.  ANY HELP 
WOULD BE APPRECIATED, AND THANKS FOR THE REPLY.

During install of RH 6.2 from a floppy (using the updated
boot20000407.img and update-disk-20000407.img) and a CD I burned using the zoot-
i386.iso I get all the way to the package install routine and then die.
 
The error is very similar to some earlier ones posted in these groups: ---
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py",
  line 46, in __getitem__
  return self.packages[item]
  Keyerror: basesystem
---
only most of the others have keyerror: indexhtml.  Anyway, I've updated the 
boot diskette so that's not it.  I also read that the hdlist may not match my 
RPMs but that can't be it b/c I d/l'd the iso file right from ftp.redhat.com.
 
Also, it can't be an architecture issue (I think) b/c I've had RH 6.0 and X 
running on this machine (Dell 8100 1.3Ghz Ultra ATA 40Gb drive and Nvidia TNT2).
 
It shouldn't be a CD burning issue (iso standard vs. Rock Ridge vs. Joliet) b/c 
if it were I would never get that far anyway.

Ok i got the same problem, and i have downloaded the anaconda patch.  I have a 
P3 550, 2 hard drives, 1 10gigs, the other 20gigs, 128 of ram, and i am doing 
the hard drive install. ive tried this like 10 times and i still get the same 
error.

There problems are all related to not having created the proper hard drive image
to install from.

Keyerror: indexhtml is due to many Windows FTP programs have auto-type detect, 
and infer (wrongly) that the indexhtml RPM file should be transferred as 
ASCII.  This will corrupt the RPM.
