Re: [OSR-devel] How to save the bug report within anaconda

[Thomas K. <ka...@rz...>]

Hello,

thank you for your messages. The syslog option would have been nice, but 
it seems that not recognizing the network interface is the bug. 
Therefore i was not able to copy the exception details to another host.

The missing piece was the hint with the anaconda.log. Although it does 
not reside in /var/log, knowing the name helped me finding it in /tmp. 
There is the anaconda.log and the (maybe) more interesting anacdump.txt 
which contains the exception details. I append both files and some 
information on the hardware. Tell me, if I can help you with some more 
information.

Should I also create a new report at the sourceforge bug tracker?
