I've run into what appears to be an insurmountable problem with the
network SIPB Linux-Athena installer.  I get as far as the SIPB-Red Hat
screen in X, then it hangs.  After hitting Ctrl-Alt-F1, I can see these
error messages:

Exception in thread Thread-2:
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/lib/python1.5/threading.py", line 376, in __bootstrap
    self.run()
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 575, in run
    self.setStateList (self.steps, 0)
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 313, in setStateList
    instance = self.instantiateWindow (x)
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 292, in instantiateWindow
    window = windowClass (ics)
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/installpath.py", line 52, in __init__
    self.installSteps = [
NameError:  ISMailWindow

If you can help me out, I'd appreciate it.  I created the boot floppy
today; it is apparently revised from those I've used previously (more
defaults are filled in).

Thanks,
Tom Grayson
