To clarify:
/usr/bin/python   does not exist
/usr/bin/python2 exists and is an empty link to a non-existent
/usr/bin/python binary.

I know this is odd. I cannot even run a yum command on this system.
Here's what I get:

# ls -la /usr/bin/python
ls: cannot access /usr/bin/python: No such file or directory

# yum info python
-bash: /usr/bin/yum: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

# yum list python
-bash: /usr/bin/yum: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

# yum whatprovides python
-bash: /usr/bin/yum: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

# yum install python
-bash: /usr/bin/yum: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

# yum repolist all
-bash: /usr/bin/yum: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

# ls -l /etc/yum.repos.d/
total 16

file /usr/bin/python2 is not owned by any package

The only thing I did was to deselect some packages -see a previous email- other
than that it was a click OK and Next operation. Nothing out of the ordinary.

There are some errors in /var/log anaconda.log.
Would this shed some light?

This is odd, because if I have not problems with the ISO I downloaded
two days ago.
I've been seeing too many odd things during the last few days that I
have not seen
before. I'm making a list. Maybe the download of the bad dvd was incomplete or
there was data corruption in the process.
