I received this report after Fedora 9, with all the install options checked, was almost finished installing. Original exception was: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1299, in handleRenderCallback self.currentWindow.renderCallback() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 80, in renderCallback self.intf.icw.nextClicked() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1278, in nextClicked self.anaconda.dispatch.gotoNext() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 131, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 208, in moveStep rc = stepFunc(self.anaconda) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/backend.py", line 228, in writeConfiguration anaconda.id.write() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/instdata.py", line 169, in write self.timezone.write(self.anaconda.rootPath) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/timezone.py", line 47, in write shutil.copyfile(from File, instPath + "/etc/localtime") File "/usr/lib/python2.5/shutil.py" line 46, in copyfile fsrc = open(src, 'rb') IOError: [Errno2] No such file or directory: '/mnt/sysimage/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Indiana/Tell_City'
Please attach the complete traceback to this bug report. It doesn't seem likely that this file should be missing, so I'm wondering what else is going on here.

What I was looking for is the text file that anaconda writes out when an unhandled exception occurs, like what you got. That file is written to /tmp/anacdump.txt. If you could attach that file, it would be very helpful.
I duplicated the install failure. I mounted the system after the install failure, using the rescue system included with Disk 1 and the mount was successful. I then made this new odd mount point the root, and searched for the requested file. I was never able to locate the requested file. Then, I only installed Fedora 9 with the "Additional Fedora Software", and it installed great. :) This ruled out my install failure hypothesis, which was based on the install failure being caused from network problems during the required DHCP download. Is the missing file consistent with this? Then: Attempted to install openoffice.org-core-2.4.0-12.8.fc9.i386.rpm from disk 3. This appeared to install properly, and then Fedora updated this package successfully. Attempted to install openoffice.org-writer-2.4.0-12.8.fc9.i386.rpm. I then received a "PackageKit warning". This rpm: Dependency resolution failed. A package could not be found that allows the task to complete.

Will you please provide me with the package install sequence for manual install. Thank you for your help, and have a great day!
It doesn't look like openoffice.org-core actually got installed (rpm -q openoffice.org-core would tell you for sure), so you probably just want to pass both package names to yum. Then it should be able to resolve the dependencies and install. But this is really getting out of the scope of this bug report. Do you have /tmp/anacdump.txt available for attaching? If not and you can't reproduce, I'll have to close this as INSUFFICIENT_DATA.
