Description Ryan Rothert 1999-12-08 18:09:27 UTC
Hello,

I get the following error when trying to install via tftp on the sparc64
platform (Redhat-6.1)... This happens just after Im asked if I want a
GNOME workstation, KDE workstation, Server , or custom installation.

Any thoughts?

Comment 1 Matt Wilson 1999-12-08 18:36:59 UTC
Which install method are you using?  NFS, FTP, or HTTP?

Could you scroll down to the bottom of that message?  The information I need is
there.

Comment 2 Ryan Rothert 1999-12-12 16:26:59 UTC
The only thing at the bottom of this text is my minicom status bar.  Is this
what you want?  Here is the text after I hit the debug button.

I got the same thing on a tftp install on a Sparc5 (tftp32).  I was trying an FTP
install

Comment 4 Jay Turner 2000-02-24 15:00:59 UTC
I need to see the full error messages which are being produced here.  When the
python exception window appears, most of the time, this message is longer than
the window available, so you need to scroll the window down in order to see the
bottom of the error message . . . which also happens to be where the good stuff
is!

Closing out bug due to lack of activity.
