You still need to submit the full traceback Anaconda generated (it will prompt you to save to a floppy disk). This will be beneficial for further analysis as to what your problem is.
Created attachment 89108 [details] Digital photo of the error generated post-install Richard sent me this via email. It would seem that the installation had completed to a point, but failed to properly configure X to work on his machine.
If you could attach the file /var/log/XFree86.0.log that would help (its mentioned in the screenshot you attached).
