Description of Problem: The start of /tmp/install.log is corrupt following a laptop install in text mode which died at the final stage but otherwise appeared to have worked. In bug 47147 I described a laptop install which resulted in an anaconda crash at the end but which otherwise appeared to have worked. Looking at /tmp/install.log I see a top line of Module /usr/share/fonts/install/xttfm.ttfm doesn't exist, ignored! Then I see ^@^@^@^@^@^@ for seven screens, then without a linebreak I find "Installing umb-scheme." and then it appears normal. upgrade logs tend to have "The following were available but not upgraded" at the end. I can't remember whether install logs should have the same. There wasn't anything those. The final lines were Installing xml-i18n-tools. /usr/share/xml-i18n-tools directory created with perms 0755. 'file' tells me that /tmp/install.log is a data file. Is all this down to the failure to complete the installer, or something else?
installs don't print out the "following were available but not upgraded." This is almost certainly a packaging problem. Please attach the full log.

Someone beat me to it, but I can't see 48423. I don't know whether the few differences are significant or not. I suspect not, but there you are. Apologies for delay :(
fixed in cvs
