We're not sure yet why the selection of a speakup keymap is creating the Anaconda error. We are aware of the problem and are trying to get a handle on it. Meanwhile, the workaround I've just described in a separate message does work. And, if you like, you can also dd the cd rom images to your hard drive and specify a hard drive install. The key is to keep the installation cd rom away from Anaconda at the early stage of keymap selection. It is important to force it to ask for the location of installation files. Once past this point, the only installation issue is the ncurses one I also described. PS: It is truly an ncurses issue. You will also see it in scripts such as setup from the installed distribution.
