Description of problem:
I have tried both  the GUI and text version of the anaconda installer. Both crash at the same point with the same results. The installer does quite a bit. When it gets to 
near 99% done with the package install, it fails with and unhandled exception. 

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot system from 7.3 CD
2.Choose system, pretty much any configuration. 
3.Allow the installer to operate. 
	

Actual Results:  After the installer gets to 99% of the packages transfered  from the CD to the HD, it crashes. The dump is attached below. I did do 
a media check on the cd's they were ok. 

Expected Results:  I am assuming the installation  should have proceeded.
