I have a system that: 1) Bombs the X server if I try to do a graphical install. 2) Bombs Anaconda if I do a text install and try to install X. The graphical install allows you to install X but not configure it, but the text install does not (if you install X, you must configure X). I should have the option of installing the X packages, but not configuring them until later.

does this still fail for you using 6.2...? what hardware do you have ...?
No, the problem seems to be fixed in 6.2. For reference, the hardware was a Solution 12 embedded CPU board from Xicronix. It has a kind of strange Cirrus logic video chip.
