Anaconda crashed and prompted me for a floppy to save a file. Here's the file. I went ahead and tried again and Fedora Core 6 was successfully installed. I wonder what went wrong, first time. I am happy to be running Core 6 with this machine. What does this anaconda dump mean? Regards, Antonio Tried to attach file but I get input/output error, will attach what I could capture of file anaconda.txt Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pirut/GroupSelector.py", line 295, in _get_pix pix = gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file(fn) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pirut/GroupSelector.py", line 324, in _populateGroups pix = self._get_pix(fn) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pirut/GroupSelector.py", line 313, in _categorySelected self._populateGroups(cat.groups, fbpix) GError: Couldn't recognize the image file format for file '/usr/share/pixmaps/comps/admin-tools.png' Local variables in innermost frame: self: <pirut.GroupSelector.GroupSelector instance at 0x95e720c> imgsize: 24 fn: /usr/share/pixmaps/comps/admin-tools.png Anaconda instance, containing members: rootPath: /mnt/sysimage rescue_mount: True intf: InstallInterface instance, containing members: intf.icw: InstallControlWindow instance, containing members: intf.icw.handle: 612 intf.icw.mainxml: <glade.XML object (PyGladeXML) at 0xb7b55aa4> intf.icw.reloadRcQueued: 0 intf.icw.currentWindow: GroupSelectionWindow instance, containing members: intf.icw.currentWindow.ics: InstallControlState instance, containing members: intf.icw.currentWindow.ics.prevEnabled: True intf.icw.currentWindow.ics.cw: Already dumped intf.icw.currentWindow.ics.nextEnabled: True intf.icw.currentWindow.ics.grabNext: True intf.icw.currentWindow.ics.title: Install Window intf.icw.currentWindow.grpsel: GroupSelector instance, containing members: intf.icw.currentWindow.grpsel.xml: <glade.XML object (PyGladeXML) at 0x9470414> intf.icw.currentWindow.grpsel.vbox: <gtk.VBox object (GtkVBox) at 0x9012644> intf.icw.currentWindow.grpsel.getgladefunc: <function findGladeFile at 0xb7ce9684> intf.icw.currentWindow.grpsel.groupMenu: <gtk.Menu object (GtkMenu) at 0x9012cd4> intf.icw.currentWindow.grpsel.menuxml: <glade.XML object (PyGladeXML) at 0x9012cac> intf.icw.currentWindow.grpsel.framefunc: <function addFrame at 0xb7ce964c> intf.icw.currentWindow.grpsel.groupstore: <gtk.TreeStore object (GtkTreeStore) at 0x9012e8c> intf.icw.currentWindow.grpsel.catstore: <gtk.TreeStore object (GtkTreeStore) at 0x9012dc4> intf.icw.currentWindow.intf: Already dumped intf.icw.currentWindow.backend: YumBackend instance, containing members: intf.icw.currentWindow.backend.prevmedia: None intf.icw.currentWindow.backend.modeText: intf.icw.currentWindow.backend.instPath: /mnt/sysimage intf.icw.currentWindow.backend.instLog: None intf.icw.currentWindow.backend.method: CdromInstallMethod instance, containing members: intf.icw.currentWindow.backend.method.messageWindow: <bound method InstallInterface.messageWindow of <gui.InstallInterface instance at 0xb7e9e44c>> intf.icw.currentWindow.backend.method.splitmethod: True intf.icw.currentWindow.backend.method.intf: Already dumped intf.icw.currentWindow.backend.method.isoPath: /mnt/source intf.icw.currentWindow.backend.method.timestamp: 1161131669.029329 intf.icw.currentWindow.backend.method.tree: /mnt/source intf.icw.currentWindow.backend.method.rootPath: /mnt/sysimage intf.icw.currentWindow.backend.method.waitWindow: <bound method InstallInterface.waitWindow of <gui.InstallInterface instance at 0xb7e9e44c>> intf.icw.currentWindow.backend.method.loopbackFile: None intf.icw.currentWindow.backend.method.progressWindow: <bound method InstallInterface.progressWindow of <gui.InstallInterface instance at 0xb7e9e44c>> intf.icw.currentWindow.backend.method.device: hdc intf.icw.currentWindow.backend.method.currentMedia: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] intf.icw.window: <gtk.Window object (GtkWindow) at 0xb7b55b1c> intf.icw.installFrame: <gtk.Frame object (GtkFrame) at 0xb7b55b44> intf.icw.anaconda: Already dumped intf.icw.rnv: ReleaseNotesViewer instance, containing members: intf.icw.rnv.textWin: <gtk.Dialog object (GtkDialog) at 0xb7c3cb1c> intf.icw.rnv.vue: <gtkhtml2.View object (HtmlView) at 0xb7c3c7d4> intf.icw.rnv.currentURI: /mnt/source/RELEASE-NOTES-en_US.html intf.icw.rnv.topDir: /mnt/source intf.icw.rnv.doc: <gtkhtml2.Document object (HtmlDocument) at 0xb7c3c25c> intf.icw.rnv.height: 600 intf.icw.rnv.width: 800 intf.icw.rnv.opener: FancyURLopener instance, containing members: intf.icw.rnv.opener._URLopener__unlink: <built-in function unlink> intf.icw.rnv.opener._URLopener__tempfiles: [] intf.icw.rnv.opener.cert_file: None intf.icw.rnv.opener.addheaders: [('User-agent', 'Python-urllib/1.16')] intf.icw.rnv.opener.tries: 0 intf.icw.rnv.opener.ftpcache: {} intf.icw.rnv.opener.tempcache: None intf.icw.rnv.opener.auth_cache: {} intf.icw.rnv.opener.key_file: None intf.icw.rnv.opener.proxies: {} intf.icw.rnv.opener.type: file intf.icw.rnv.opener.maxtries: 10 intf.icw.rnv.anaconda: Already dumped intf.icw.rnv.htmlheader: <html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
