  <Tab>/<Alt-│                                                   │ next screen


Expected results:

Perhaps something that fits on the screen better.  

Some options:

1) 2 dialogs, the first being "How to save", the next being the "save details" ... e.g.

             +--------| How to save your traceback? |------------+
             |                                                   |
             │          ( ) Save to local disk                   │
             │ (*) Send to bugzilla (http://bugzilla.redhat.com) │
             │          ( ) Send to remote server (scp)          │
             │         ┌────┐                ┌────────┐          │
             │         │ OK │                │ Cancel │          │
             │         └────┘                └────────┘          │

# second dialog has the details needed for the selected save method?


2) Don't offer any choice in text-mode ... just display a dialog: "Your install has failed.  A traceback has been saved to /tmp/anacdump.txt"

3) Only offer (scp) ?

(1) is probably the way to go here.  I'll look at this for F11.
Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 04:33:24 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

Comment 3 Jon Stanley 2008-11-26 19:13:35 UTC 
Fixing version to align with rawhide again.  Sorry for the noise.
Comment 4 Chris Lumens 2009-04-17 17:54:34 UTC 
This will be fixed in the next build of anaconda.
