Except I did an NFS install instead of a hard disk install. It took 9 hours to complete, and then anaconda crashed out at the last stage when it was trying to update the bootloader. I suspect this was because of the "ro" option; the installer didn't appear to have remounted /boot read-write at any point. Strange. Not too difficult to recover from though. Paul.
