install keeps aborting

[Ed Landaveri]

Justin,
I had a similar problem. When I just installed FC4.
What I did was I deleted my old partitions with
zapfdisk z and the problem dissappeared. I don't
understand what it caused it but I couldn't do it
until I deleted the partitions and made a ftp
installation
