Description Reartes Guillermo 2012-11-15 23:29:18 UTC 
Created attachment 646065 [details]
normal, the firs time one selects a valid NFS installation source

Description of problem:

There is something wrong with anaconda and the handling of problems with the INSTALLATION SOURCE spoke. When there are problems (like a wrong path) with FTP or NFS, anaconda reports the failure but there is collateral damage to the KEYBOARD spoke. Additionally the spoke remains grayed out but clickable...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
F18b TC8

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. Change the INSTALLATION SOURCE to a VALID NFS Source
1. Change the INSTALLATION SOURCE to a INVALID NFS Source (a wrong PATH)
2. Change the INSTALLATION SOURCE to a VALID NFS Source AGAIN
  
Actual results:
The KEYBOARD spoke does start to malfunction 

Expected results:
fail gracefully
