From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0) Description of problem: When trying to install 7.3 on the Tecra, anaconda generates a python debug error. I have reproduced it using both graphical and text mode installer. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Install 7.3! It will fail if you are unfortunate enough to be using a Toshiba Tecra 720CDT! Actual Results: Python debug messages. Debug output attached below. Expected Results: No error, installer continues.

Please test your CDs following these instructions: http://people.redhat.com/~msf/mediacheck.html
Quite right - The problem lies with the drive/media combination. It seems the Tecra drive has trouble reading the unbranded cds I was using, although the rest of the office machines have no problem reading them. Perhaps the python debug console could be more helpful and suggest a media/drive related problem rather than a bug.. Anyway, many thanks for the help :) David
