hello jasper,

This box is good enuff 1gb ram athlon-xp 2600 2ghz MSI-6570 sata-promise fake 
raid rawhide, using original kickstart minimal.cfg with line 5: langsupport 
commented out.

anaconda.log when stalled:

14:48:31 INFO    : anaconda called with cmdline =

I did manage to spin a minimal cd by not using any kickstart file and not 
selecting anything from anaconda-gui all rpms were grabbed successfully this 
time here is the kickstart file it left:

# dexters minimal-kickstart file for uk-locale
install
url --url http://mirror.atrpms.net/fedoracore/development/i386/os
lang en_GB.UTF-8
keyboard uk
network --device eth0 --bootproto dchp
rootpw --iscrypted $1$6drK.8lP$hSkRKrJgqtc8W8p7P13.r/
firewall --disabled 
authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5
selinux --disabled
timezone Europe/London
bootloader --location=none
#
#
#
%packages
@british-support
@core

This booted ok after the nash & mkisofs problems mentioned in another email.
Of course feeding this file back into anaconda via kadischi or command line 
results in 99% usage failure as above, rpm -V anaconda gives a clean bill of 
health. 
Trying to select anything ambitious like a kde desktop results in anaconda 
trying to grab non existant rpms off the mirrors.

BZ#240038

On another note after about 7 or 8 good runs of kadischi it refused to start 
with:
