I have a dual boot system Win98SE and Linux and had initial problems installing redhat 7.0 on the linux partition (using lilo as boot loader). During the installation (tried for both GUI and text mode) I mounted the vfat partition using /mnt/drive_x and this is what i got. -------------- Traceback (innermost last) File "/var/tmp/anaconda- 7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 20 in run rc=self.to.do.doInstall() File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1480, indoInstall if self.method.systemMounted (self.fstab,self.insPath,self.hdList.selected(): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/image.py",line 46, in systemMounted self.loopbackFile=mntPoint+fstab.filesystem Space(mntPoint) [0][0]+\ File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/fstab.py", line 258, in filesystemSpace File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 16, in fsSpaceAvailable return_isys.devSpaceFree(fsystem) System Error:(2,'No such file or directory') -------------- I retried leaving the vfat partition unmounted and proceeded with the installation. When everything was finished I just remounted the same vfat partition using the mount command and I had no more problem. This bug (although there is a workaround) can be discouraging for newbies.
