[Rule-list] Network install not working

[Glen Lee Edwards]

I got the install to work when I used a local install, network configuration,
with no customization on my part.  Last time I added in 300+ Meg of stuff I want
on the system.  With about half the RPMs to go, anaconda died.

The second install went without a hitch when I didn't try to add in a bunch of
junk.

You folks at Rule have my sincere appreciation.  

Glen
