Description khafagy 1999-10-12 20:13:05 UTC
Hello,

I am installing redhat6.1 from harddrive and I am using the
boot.img (local boot diskette) for booting, I have the
following error:

- In the Reading package information phase during the
installation (after specifying upgrade installation class)
I got the following "exception error" which can not be
ignored:

Trace back (innermost last):

file "/usr/bin/anaconda.real", line 225 in ?

Note: the graphical installation does not work only text
mode.

Please send me an answer if there is error in the
installation files or the installation process.

Waiting for your fedback..

Regards,
Samy Khafagy

Hi,
I've had this bug in the instalation of LINUX and some people advised
me to check the RPMS directory for anny files not ending with .RPM
I dis that and foun an log file from my FTP prog. deleted the file
and tryed the install agean, it still did'nt work ( for some other
people this did work !!) Then I compared the files in that dir with
the files on the FTP site and found out that a file called HOWTO-
corean..... something was'nt completly downloaded. I redownloaded
this file and the install worked well !! so check your RPMS dir, it
should be 555.198.893 bytes large, if it is'nt check your RPM files !!
