Description John Gregg 2004-11-15 04:24:20 UTC
Description of problem:

I currently run Fedora Core 2, with grub as my boot loader.
I downloaded and burned to CD all 4 iso images for FC3. When
I boot from FC3 disc 1 to install FC3 on my machine, however,
I run into a problem. Right after I accept the default option
with regard to my boot loader (i.e. update my existing one),
I get a box informing me of an unhandled exception. The box
told me to file this bug. Here is just the top screen's worth
of the backtrace:
