Subject: &quot;install exited abnormally&quot; when trying to install F8 on old laptop<br>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
I am trying to install the new Fedora 8 XFCE spin<br>
(<a href="https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2008-February/msg00005.html" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2008-February/msg00005.html</a>)<br>
<br>
on a very old laptop (see specs below)... but I have not succeeded yet.<br>
<br>
i386 install media for this spin is not directly available, so I<br>
downloaded the i386 DVD and made its content available on a http server<br>
on my local network to start from here. Then, I still have to figure out<br>
how to use the kickstart file in the process to end up with the XFCE<br>
spin on my good old machine.<br>
<br>
I burned the boot CD to start the network install, and provided the http<br>
path for anaconda to access the packages. Anaconda then starts to<br>
retrieve the /images/minstg2.img packages and then crashes. Here is the<br>
message I get:<br>
&quot;Running anaconda <a href="http://11.3.0.50" target="_blank">11.3.0.50</a>, the Fedora system installer - please wait...<br>
install exited abnormally [1/1]&quot;<br>
then the systems shuts down.<br>
<br>
I assume that my config for an http install is fine as anaconda manages<br>
to access the packages... but I can&#39;t figure out why it crashes.<br>
<br>
Can anyone help please?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Bruno<br>
