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.
