Error on the Latest Nightly.

[Brian Monroe]

I'm getting this traceback on the most recent nightly iso when I try to
install to Hard Drive.
  File "/sbin/anaconda", line 719, in <module>
    from pyanaconda import kickstart
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/kickstart.py", line
760, in <module>
    class Network(commands.network.F19_Network):
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'F19_Network

Bad download? It's also taking a lot longer than usual to boot. I'll try
redownloading an iso  just incase.

Not a bad download. =( I'm guessing Anaconda had a change that someone
hasn't committed the object for yet? I checked our kickstart file and
didn't see a line 760 but that's assuming the one on the wiki is current.
Anyone have an iso that works to install to hard drive? I'd rather not use
this live image as it takes about 10-12 minutes just to boot.

Oh dear. That's not Jam specific, it looks like in-progress Anaconda changes.
The F18 Final TC3-equivalent ISO can still be found at
http://imalone.fedorapeople.org/Fedora-Jam-x86_64-20121218.iso
N.B. this is based on TC3:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_18_Final_TC3_Install
It was TC4 that made it as the final release:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_18_Final_TC4_Install

There were some final tweaks to the Fedora installer between the two.
I think the 'Reclaim space' options didn't really work and were
disabled. Also I ended up having to install grub manually, that may be
because I used manual partitioning.
If not doing automatic partitioning it's worth going to storage
options a second time and using whatever the option at the bottom left
is called (I think it's show partitions or something) to check that
grub is being installed, after that click done at the top left to go
back to the main anaconda menu. Also, automatic partitioning doesn't
seem to want to use any swap partition you already have and works best
with contiguous empty space.

It seems to be a known issue, Stephen Gallagher on the devel list,
"RFC: Fedora revamp proposal":
It's worth noting that right now we are less than a week from Alpha
freeze for Fedora 19, and yet Rawhide is not installable. This is what
we would like to avoid.

I've now tried this again under QEMU/KVM[1] and it may have been a
quirk of my original custom partition scheme. Custom partitioning this
time worked, though whether checking grub is set to be installed
somehow makes a difference to that is something I haven't investigated
([1] again).

[1] Which seems to be slower in F18, maybe something to do with my setup.
