Fedora Install issue: "Invalid Modeline"
 

Fedora Core Test 3

Installing from DVD. Checked ISO and disc. Receive error similar to following (different line numbers):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 677, in ?
import xsetup
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/xsetup.py", line 20, in?
import rhpl.xserver as xserver

..and a few more...

raise exceptions.StandardError("Invalid modeline in file: %s"%(line))
StandardError: Invalid modeline in file:
install exited abnormally.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reported as a bug on bugzilla but no suggestions that I can find on the Internet.

Looks like anaconda is choking on the xserver config. Try to install with the text only option. IIRC it was 'linux text'.

Thanks for that. Silly of me not to try that really.

I managed to get the thing 62 packages from installation before it decided it couldn't find a file. Maybe another day.

Thanks, again.
