Angry Fedora 14 - installation problem - anaconda


I'm having problems installing Fedora 14

Tried installing the iso image and on DVD using vmware fusion on a 16gb imac, but it generated this error :


The following problem occurred on line 65 of the kickstart file:
Section does not end with %%end.

Installation stops :-(

If there is a fix for a newbie?

Let try earlier version to see if the problem is related to this particular release of Fedora.

I ran into this issue as well.

Go into your VMWare Device Profile and remove the second CDROM device that has "Using autoinst.iso". That is VMWare's special kickstart that trys to setup your user, and other junk automagically.

Once I did that it worked perfectly.
