I found this bug in two different packages of RH7.3, a standard one and a professional one. 1)Boot from CD1 2)press enter (or use "text" mode, the result is the same) 3)In normal installation, I can see the RedHat logo on a white background 4)Then, Anaconda crashes with the following message: File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 503, in ? from text import InstallInterface File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 28 in ? from language import expandlangs ImportError: cannot import name expandlangs These is my hardware config: Asus P2B @ 112MHz (stable) - AGP2x, USB 1.1, UDMA33 PII 450 (4.0x112) 1x 128MB PC133 hda Quantum AS 40GB UATA100- unrelevant: I've tried to change it with another, freshly formatted UDMA33 hard disk hdb none hdc Philips CDRW1610 16x10x40x hdd Philips CDD3610 2x2x6x AGP Matrox Mystique G200 (recognized as a Millenium G200) PCI1 Conexant HCF softmodem - unrelevant: I tried to remove it PCI2 Motorola SM56 softmodem PCI3 Sound Blaster PCI128 PCI4 Pinnacle PCTV (bt848) ISA1 none (shared with PCI4) ISA2 Roland MPU- 401 PnP ISA3 none (PCI1 is the nearest one to AGP) USB Canon BJC-3000 Canon Canoscan FB630U -no SCSI, no ISDN, no Ethernet or similar stuff- relevant BIOS settings: PnP OS: no Notes: 1)Once it started correctly.

Please check your media as in these instructions: http://people.redhat.com/~msf/mediacheck.html
I checked my media, in both the distributions (personal and professional). No errors.
Which language did you choose to install with?
I didn't choose any - installer crashes MUCH before (just after the big RedHat logo - so it isn't an X problem)
Mediacheck does not always catch errors that can occur from CDs which are marginal. I would recommend trying a new set of CDs, or putting the ISO images on a harddrive and doing a harddrive based install.
I already told you (in the original message) that I've already tried TWO different CDs, shipped with two different magazines. I'm sure it's not a CD problem.
I would recommend contacting the magazines about the CDs they are shipping. If you have a problem with a Red Hat boxset please contact our customer support. You can also try downloading Red Hat Linux 7.3 from an ftp mirror for free.
