I get the same results in any instalation mode, with or without the 
anaconda fix 20001009.img.. I was triing to load 7.0 over 6.2 on a 2.0 gig 
hard drive. I even tried updating. I just fdisked the entire hard drive 
and changed it back to FAT32. still the same result...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.insert boot disk. start computer. enter any choise for setup.
2.English lang. US keyboard. Hard drive install. format manual or 
automatic. enter root name, password, other users. then continue.
3.That is when the installer stops.
	

Actual Results:  Traceback (innermost last):

Something about the hard drive image you setup to install from is not correct,
as files which are required cannot be found.

Comment 2 Tony Schnell 2001-02-15 03:56:13 UTC
which files can't be found????/ I downloaded them all from Redhat.ftp twice..
What files is the loader looking for???
