Just did a new install on a netbook--this time I went for my usual minimal installation. It failed on bind-libs. This strikes me as ood for two reasons--why would bind-libs be included in a minimal installation, and why would it cause the installation to fail? I thought I had seen, somewhere along the line, that anaconda had been made more robust and wouldn't die on a failed package, especially when the package is non-essential. Is that simply my imagination playing tricks? (Googling doesn't bring me any sign of it.) Even if it is the case, from what I see on CentOS with whatrequires bind-libs, it's really not necessary for a minimal installation. (Ironically, trying a complete install earlier worked perfectly.) Would someone be able to tell me if I am imagining things about Anaconda being so fragile? Seems that most other installers are able to recover from something like that, so it should be doable. The bind-libs being included in a minimal install sounds like a possible bug, but the same argument could probably be made for anything not essential to boot into a shell. I'm guessing that it was just a glitch in the image downloaded on this install, or a network burp, but the bigger concern, IMHO, is anaconda being so fragile. (Especially if it's not supposed to be, but as mentioned above, I can't find anything to support that, so am beginning to think I misunderstood, or perhaps scanned over, something in the past.) I think I'm most annoyed over my failing memory. Running the install a second time, everything was fine. Thanks for any feedback, (especially on whether there was or wasn't an anaconda fix). -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Xander: So, we Bronzin' it tonight?
