From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98) I think there might be a problem with the indexhtml-7.0-2.noarch.rpm file. When I do a directory compare with my ftp program, I get the local and server copies of this file showing different sizes, even after trying to download the file several times. I am given the following info dumped to a floppy file after the crash: 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: indexhtml Local variables in innermost frame: self: <comps.HeaderList instance at 8232c28> item: indexhtml ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iharddrive HardDriveInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'fstype' p6 S'vfat' p7 sS'isMounted' p8 I1 sS'fnames' p9 (dp10 <failed> Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from floppy disk. 2. Enter default boot mode. 3. Set up options ( english, US keyboard, 2 button mouse ) 4. Partition hard drive ( 15 GB - 3.2 GB for Linux w/ 125 MB swap file ) 5. Enter domain name, root password, user ID and Password. Actual Results: The screen goes blank, with a message box in the middle saying loading packages. Then it aborts with the messages above, giving you the option to save them to a file. Expected Results: I believe the packages should have been confirmed and the installation continued.
This means something is not setup up correctly in the hard drive install image you setup to install from.
