FC5 Pukes on my machine

[Paul King]

Hello

Now that Fedora Core 5 is no longer a "testing" suite, I decided to
attempt an upgrade of my system, and found after a couple of attempts
that its python-based Anaconda script dies just after making a list of
packages to upgrade on my current system (FC3). The docs said that it
was supposed to auto-detect the installation (which it did), and then
upgrade if I select "upgrade" (which I did). The error message tells me
that the error is likely due to a bug.

I downloaded this distro today from fedora.redhat.com. Not sure why it
would die like that.

Just a heads-up to anyone thinking of installing this thing on an
existing FC system. The last thing I want to do is wipe out what I have
and install fresh, after all the work I went to in getting the software
and hardware to work together.
