Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:47:21 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: Bad: When doing harddisk installation upgrade having placed the iso iamages in one directory, if psyche-doc.iso is in that directory the installer will crush Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Place psyche-docs.iso, psyche-i386-disc1.iso, psyche-i386-disc2.iso, psyche-i386-disc3.iso in one directory 2. Create a boot floppy using boot.img boot to start the installation upgrade and select the harddisk installation option 3. At the point where the installer starts to checked for the installed packages it should crush. Actual Results: Anaconda crushes with a messages suggesting a bug report and installtion can no longer continue.

As you've already discovered, the easy workaround is just to move the documentation CD to a different directory. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 75077 ***
