Description of problem:
While installing Linux 7.2, Anaconda aborts at different places with 
a "SyntaxError: invalid syntax" error.  It mostly happens immediately after 
initialization (after the blue screen).  I have not been able to get past this 
if I choose the graphic install.  Using text install, it sometimes asks 
configuration questions (language, mouse, etc.) and then aborts before or while 
installing the pagkages.  I attached one logfile to this bug and entered error 
output from two other unsuccesful install attempts as no logfile was created.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert CD
2. reboot
3. start install
	

Actual Results:  "SyntaxError: invalid syntax" and reboot.

Expected Results:  I expected to get a successful install

Additional info:

I bought the "Red Hat 7.2 and Red Hat Network" CDs (retail).

I have two "cd drives", one CD-RW and one DVD.  Both produce the same result

I/m trying to do a dual-system install, Windows 98 SE being the first.  Two IDE 
drives - one (primary) dedicated to Win and one (secondary) dedicated to Linux

Output from two "early crashes" (I had to copy these down manually):
