Description of Problem: Sometimes (human error, lack of media, lack of floppy drive, whatever) one simply CANNOT get a copy of an anaconda traceback off a failing install Suggestion This actually provokes an idea on my part -- Why not 'tee' in all instances anaconda tracebacks, in the case of install/upgrade failures, into /tmp/anaconda-traceback.txt, and/or the install/upgrade log, so that sysadmins, and indeed less experienced customers finding errors, can give better reports, even if a proper floppy, with proper vfat modules, is not at hand.

Marking to consider for next release, we're past our feature freeze.
Repoened after release of RH 7.2 ================================ Thi sstill seems like a useful helper for the Beta phase, and indeed for RH support in debugging a failing install for retail install support.
Please consider inclusion of this as a SOP as we enter RH 8.0 beta testing. -- now is the time!
Deferring to future release.
We are now hopefully before feature freeze -- freezer burn here (smile); Reopen as an RFE for post RHL 8.0 consideration in planning items for next release
I have fixed this so if /mnt/sysimage is mounted then the traceback will go into /root/anaconda-traceback.txt.
