I can't file a bug on a partly updated system.
What I'm trying to do is replicate on a recent rawhide.
For this, I have to be able to install directly a rawhide system.

Unfortunately, that's not that easy.

boot.iso, which allow to directly install rawhide is very hard to find
on the mirrors (every mirror doesn't contain the same directories and
files !) and infrequently updated.

I found a 20090227 boot.iso, which was buggy
I opened bug 487976 on it, which was corrected I believe.

I had to wait until today to find a boot.iso on rawhide mirrors, which
is dated 20090306

Unfortunaltely, I encountered other bugs...

filled bug 489105 : install block if you have a multi card reader
I disconnected my multicard reader and I'm know blocked by bug 488987,
which was already opened...
