I;ve been having failures of anaconda the last few days.
It just quits and leaves no traces for debugging.
The only clue I had was that it seemed to be looking for a floppy device,
and I wondered if it was trying to dump its error log to floppy automagically.
So I inserted a floppy and tried again...
Eureka!
It continued past the point of failure and is now happily trying to resolve
dependencies.
The boot line was:
linux askmethod noipv6
I selected an http install from a local mirror.
Celeron (Coppermine) @ 600 MHz 256MB RAM
VIA Chipset with everything on mobo
RTL ethernet, 160GB IDE disk
Trident Cyberblade/i1
all detected and working fine at this point.
The key was inserting a floppy in the drive.
