Description of problem: When conducting a text installation (in my case, because I had 192MB memory and it auto-chose a text installation), after package selection and disk configuration, anaconda will fail with a python exception that after reading through looks like it may be related to trying to deal with an upper-ASCII character somewhere. I'm not sure which package it is, but it's one of the first dozen or two. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 9 beta (DVD) How reproducible: - Perform a text installation of Fedora 9 beta from the DVD - Selection of "Office and Productivity" or "Software development" doesn't affect the outcome. With both deselected, the error occurs Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start a text installation from Fedora 9 beta DVD 2. Set up disk however you want 3. Install the default set of packages Actual results: After the first few packages install, a mini-window will appear in the middle of the screen describing a python exception that was thrown. Expected results: Successfully installation of all packages Additional info: this appears to *not* occur using the graphical installer. In reading the exception output, I think it's some sort of upper-ASCII character encoding issue, which likely can't decode/display properly by the text installer.
