hi,
I've been trying for quite a while to install Athena linux on a Dell
Dimension 8100. However, when I use the graphical install, it hangs on
the page where it should download packages (it doesn't indicate that any
downloads are started.) And when I do a text install, I get the
following error message after the "Reading Packages..." box:
Exception Occurred ------------
Traceback (innermost last):
File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 342, in ?

KeyError: basesystem
OK DEBUG
------------------------------------
When I say OK, the install terminates. Do you have any suggestions?
(The I/S installer doesn't seem to recognize my network card or
something.)
thanks!
-Bill
