Description of problem:
I encounter two problems when upgrading from RedHat 8.0 to Fedora core 1.

Hardware:
  Dell Inspiron 8000
  1400x1050 LCD display
  ATI rage 128 mobility

The problems are:

1. X server fails to start by default. It seems that it does not detect the monitor (DELL 1400x1050 Laptop Display Panel) correctly. Booting with the following option solves this:
	linux 'resolution=1400x1050'
then the X server starts correctly, and the correct monitor can be selected during the install.

2. Installer hangs in pre-install stage. The install mode selected is  "upgrade existing system"
Finding packages to upgrade and checking dependencies proceeds OK.

Then , after starting the actuall install (click 'Next'), the following error message appear:

"An error occured transfering the install image to your hard drive. you are probably out of disk space."

...which I seriously doubt
If I click 'Next' again after this, I get this backtrace:

An unhandled exception has occured. This is most likely a bug.
Please copy the full text of this exception and file a detailed bug report against anaconda at http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla
