Frankly, I think it's the "USB is not really supported" issue :-/ -- so far, I've seen 2 problems that disappear if I use a cdrom... - Anaconda dies with a python error before it starts installing RPMs. The error is about an iterator over partitions or disk devices. This happens in graphical and text mode (less often in text mode). - Anaconda dies badly (the computer switches off - kernel hang?) while installing one of the selinux policy packages. It may be an OOM issue. They are somewhat more likely with Via/EPIA systems. However, you point out interesting issues.

I am keen on your anaconda magic, but it has to work really well for a bugfix revision... otherwise, 0.6 might be a good chance...?
