From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)

Description of problem:
I originally had a problem with installing that came right after formatting, 
when it was about to install. I went and downloaded an update, put it on a disk 
as directed, and typed linux updates in the initial boot screen. It read the 
updates and proceeded to initialize the installation program. I then get this 
message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 594, in?
    intf.progressWindow, rootPath)
TypeError: __init__() takes exactly 3 arguments (5 given)
install exited abnormally


The update image file was named 8.0-cdread.img

program


Actual Results:  I get the error specified in the description.

Expected Results:  I expect the updates to fix the previous error and continue 
to install.
