Description Jóhann B. Guðmundsson 2008-04-05 06:23:18 UTC
Description of problem:

In the latest rawhide live iso 04.04

I was unable to install on a 4GB usb stick

Starting with anaconda complaining about not enough disk space
( 4096 minimun ) I press back and anaconda starts to transfer the image to 
to the usb stick???? ( another bug.. )

Then install fails in the middle of the transfer. ( another bug..)

Followed by an option for me to save the error msg which I cant
because clicking "save" crashes the application ( another bug ) 

Then I try again and I choose the partition layout ( custom layout )
no complaints about size this time, Again when transferring the image 
to the usb-stick it fails in middle of the transfer.

Anaconda needs to have a different default partition layout for size
smaller than 4096.

if less than 4096 space on selected hd then do 
boot + needed space for anaconda to install, minust total hd space = swap size

or by setting swap partition to a fixed size, ( 256. 512 or 1024 ).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

When failing install to usb I get

Error
An error occured trying to format sdb1. The problem is serious
.and the install cannot continue. 

Press Enter exit installer

Do this again unencrypted at this time 
get "Exception Occurered" ( see attachment which btw i copy/pasted not saved)
click save and get

Bug
Assertion (ped_partition_is active (part)) at
disk.c:1186 in function ped_partition_get_flag() failed.

Choose to ignore.. 

Assertion (part - disk_specific !=null) at dos.c:1423 in function
msdos_partition_get_flag() failed.

after that anaconda gets unresponsive
