After selecting some package groups and individual package selection, the "tree" view came up. I selected some additional packages but because it is very difficult to find some packages I selected the "flat" view. The install immediately crashed and shutdown.
I haven't been able to reproduce this behavior. Do you have a particular sequence of steps that will trigger it?
Do you get GTK error messages similar to those in bug 59332?
Arrrgh. Now it did not repeat. The "things" I did (or what I remember anyway) is; 1. bootnet nfs custom install into a single 3000MB partition on hda5. 2. Selected additional package groups kde, graphics & Image, Authoring, Software Dev, and Kernel Dev plus check "individual packages". 3. Get the tree view and add kpoker, kpat, nedit, ethereal, and ethereal-gnome. 4. Select flat view ... this time it works although the view is terrible since it is not in alphabetically order. I am closing this as NOTABUG. If I get a reocurrance, I will reopen with additional info.
