    Hi List

    I seached the list and it seems I am the only person in the whole wide
    world with an install failure on FC2 for AMD64??? ( or maybe I searched
    like my but anyway...)

    I proceed to do a "everything" install and have FC2 do a auto partition
    on a 120GB SATA disk. All's well at this point, then it formats
    partition and copies the install image to disk and then it prepares the
    rpm transaction and then , woops, does a post install configuration
    without copying anything and gives me a message like follows:

    An unhandled exception has occured .....

    Traceback
    File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1048, in handleRenderCallback
    self.currentWindow.renderCallback()
    File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 242, in renderCallback
    self.initf.icw.nextClicked()
    File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 763, in nextClicked
    self.dispatch.gotoNext()
    File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 169, in gotoNext
    self.moveStep()
    bla bla bla
    (I have to type this by hand since folks thinks other folks still use
    floppy drives...)

    Anyway, I thought it had something to do with my graphics card, so I
    tried a text only install, same thing, different errors...

    Anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

    PS all CD media MD5SUMS check out OK

    PPS system = AMD 64 3200, 1GB DDR400 RAM, 120GB SATA DISK NVIDIA FX-5700
    256MB

    PPPS how difficult would it be to have the option to write to CD during
    install, ie, write a boot CD at least?

    PPPPS thanks for the help and hard work on FC!!
