During installation, I get the following error msgs when loading Redhat 6.2 onto the Dell 8200. It occurs just before I am getting ready to select the packages for installation (when the installation is reading the package information). A
"Exception Occurred" window comes up that says:

Traceback (innermost last):

Can anybody help?

Try Red Hat 6.0 as 6.0 doesn't use anaconda

I am experiencing the same problem. did you manage to find a solution to install 6.2 ???

thanx in advance for replying !

No. I haven't found a solution. I would appreciate any information that you can come up with. Meanwhile, I'm still looking for a solution. Thank you.

why you using 6.2, such an ancient distro

Because it is on a fielded system.

you can resolve the problem? ... can you tell me how do you did it?

There is nothing called Linux 6.2, when referring to Linux distributions always include their names and then version numbers. Anyway I assue you meant Redhat 6.2. Redhat 9 and below were discontinued by Redhat, and replaced by Fedora Core and Redhat Enterprise Linux.
