I agree Peter.  From my perspective things have been improving with
anaconda.  However, the exposure continues to be the previous disk
layout especially those involving dmraid.

When filing a bug, please be as specific as possible when outlining the
"steps to reproduce."  Order is very important for the custom disk
partitioning.  If a traceback occurs, the resulting traceback file
(/tmp/anacdump.txt) and any screenshots are tremendously helpful.  

In the case of bug#492154, it appears that the previous OSX disk layout
may be the culprit.  I'm reaching out to the anaconda-devel folks for
advice on further pinpointing this issue.  I'll hopefully follow-up with
more information.

Thanks,
James
