attempting to install fedora 19 on external drive with already existing partitions (from a fedora 15 installation). More than two hours wasted, maybe the 10th anaconda crash. Managed to get the partitions set, selected kde-workspaces to install and now I got this error. THis is the network installer. It wasn't that hard in the past. Since fedora 18 it is really an exercise in patience. cmdline: /usr/bin/python /sbin/anaconda cmdline_file: initrd=initrd.img inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Fedora\x2019\x20x86_64 quiet BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinuz hashmarkername: anaconda kernel: 3.9.5-301.fc19.x86_64 package: anaconda-19.30.13-1 product: Fedora reason: error: rpmdb open failed release: Cannot get release name. version: 19
