Description Harold Liang 2001-07-07 11:15:16 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90)

Description of problem:
when trying to upgrade Red Hat 7.1, the installer report a bug right 
at 'checking for system'.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start installer.
2. after the installer ask if want to 'customize package'
3. a small window pops up stating that a bug was discovered
	

Actual Results:  the first time I saved the message on Floppy disk. The 
second time I chose the option 'debug' but don't know what to do, so I 
restart the computer. The third time I chose 'ignore' and the computer 
antomatically restarted.

Expected Results:  should continue with installer. 

Additional info: All the iso files are correct according to the md5sum.

The following is the actual file that was saved.......

What version of Red Hat Linux were you trying to upgrade from?  Also, did the
existing system work properly before you tried the upgrade?

Comment 2 Harold Liang 2001-07-10 07:37:25 UTC
I am trying to upgrade from Red Hat 7.0, 7.0 was working fine before the 
upgrade. I had some luck to complete the install at the first time. But the 
screen went nuts after I log on, ie, right click then the menu is transparent 
and the list stays on. When I try to log off, I can even see the options. Then 
I was like what the heck, I did a complete install the next time and this is 
where the 'bug', problem, started. The installer gave me an option to debug, 
but since new to Linux, I don't know what to do at that point. Please help.
