"install exited abnormally" when trying to install F8 on old laptop

Hi All,

I am new to fedora-list and fedora-laptop-list... Here is an
issue I 
raised on fedora-list, but it might be more relevant here.

Please let me know if anyone can help me to progress.

Thanks,
Bruno

Hi All,

I am trying to install the new Fedora 8 XFCE spin
(https://www.redhat.com/archives/
fedora-announce-list/2008-February/msg00005.html) 

on a very old laptop (see specs below)... but I have not
succeeded yet.

i386 install media for this spin is not directly available,
so I
downloaded the i386 DVD and made its content available on a
http server
on my local network to start from here. Then, I still have
to figure out
how to use the kickstart file in the process to end up with
the XFCE
spin on my good old machine.

I burned the boot CD to start the network install, and
provided the http
path for anaconda to access the packages. Anaconda then
starts to
retrieve the /images/minstg2.img packages and then crashes.
Here is the
message I get:
"Running anaconda 11.3.0.50, the Fedora system
installer - please wait...
install exited abnormally [1/1]"
then the systems shuts down.

I assume that my config for an http install is fine as
anaconda manages
to access the packages... but I can't figure out why it
crashes.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks,
Bruno

Check if your problem is the one described in this bug
report:
   ht
tps://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=367731
If so, the easy way to fix it is getting the latest Fedora
Unity Re-Spin

Thanks for the reply: it seems clear that I should try with
the latest
