Hi,
I tried installing FC4 and it terminates with an exception. Anaconda
tells me to copy that and submit a bug, but the error message is quite
long. I was wondering if there was a way in the install to paste the
error message (I could copy it) in a file so that I can send it
somewhere (via ftp, scp?). It was a graphical install and the error
message looked like a pythin backtrace.
It used to be possible to put it on a floppy - not easy of you don't
have one.
Given another computer and a null-modem cable, you can install using a
remote console and so log the entire process with a terminal program
such as minicom.
I think there's also a trick to make the graphical install display
remotely. On your other Linux box (in X), enter the command
xhost +
and at the boot prompt something akin to
DISPLAY=bilby.test.lan:0.0
There may be more options; read the docs looking for things such as VNC
and ssh/telnet.
btw I've had that traceback - back around RHL 7.3. In my case, I'd
specified something wrongly, and anaconda's exception handling is fairly
feeble, Or was then. Check the stack printout for anything you said.
It looks like it is a dvd install problem. I found out somewhere on the
net that many people were having trouble installing from the DVD. CD
install went smoothly.
Thanks,
