I tried again, with the known good DVD and the known good
external USB DVD-drive. It did it again, and I let it go all night. Next
morning (today), still bare white screen.
I rebooted, and established that it still did boot fine into F8
as well as XP.
I tried it yet another time, using text mode. All went smoothly,
up to the point of installing Tomboy -- which it shouldn't install in an
upgrade, since that isn't in my F8.
That hung for a very long time. Finally it gave me the Anaconda
Bug, which I reported in another thread.
I tried to send the dump to another machine on my LAN; that
failed. I tried everything I could think of to get it to honor the choice
it pretended to offer -- store to disk. It wouldn't even let me tell it
to try.
I told it debug. It printed a lot of lines fast -- ending with :
IOError: [Errno 5] Input/output error
Then two or three blank lines. Then :
Entering debugger...
> /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/urlgrabber/grabber.py(1217)_do_grab()
-> new_fo_close()
(Pdb)
And there it sits.
How can I tell anaconda *NOT* to try to install Tomboy?
