FC5t2 fails to install

[r1348]

Hallo,
I wanted to try this FC5 thingie so I downloaded the x86_64 dvd version with BitTorrent.
sha1sum and mediacheck went fine so I think there's no problem with the media itself.
Anyway, just after I set the root password in graphical mode, anaconda throws an unhandled exception and ask me to save the log on a remote host, start debug or quit. I've no LAN at my home and my internet connection has still to be at that point of installation, so I can't save this log anywhere.
Is there a way to save this log on a local drive, so i can post it to fedora-devel-list or bugzilla?


P.S. text mode install is heavily garbled and unusable.

have you tried plugging in a usb flash drive and saving to that? or possibly even a floppy disk?

I had the same issue x86_64. It took me a couple of tries and eventually it got by the bug you described and installed w/o a problem. It did not appear each time and when it did it was not at the same place during the install. I believe the bug has been reported??? I also have a distorted text screen....Xorg is not quite ready for prime time at this stage. To be expected.
