Has anyone else noticed this?  When I try doing a full

install on a

P-III with 256M of RAM, it goes fine until, just after anaconda
switches from ISO 2 to 3 andthen it just reboots.

I haven't noticed that, are you sure ISO 3 is not corrupt

in any way?

i'm positive, I just checked again, and they all pass the
sha1sum check.
I notice even if I uncheck all package groups, and select
only development packages, it will abort.  Yet, if I choose
almost everything else except that package group, it goes
fine.  Do you know if there is any way to debug this somehow?

One thing you could do is bypass the cd's all together.  On boot type:

linux method=http://some.yum.mirror/path/to/fc4/

If you have a local mirror this will be lightning fast.  Method also
takes an nfs mount and ftp I believe.
