[SoaS] zyx-liveinstaller errors in soas-i386-20100423.23.iso

[Thomas C Gilliard]

Douglas;

I am posting the latest zyx-liveinstaller.log for

soas-i386-20100423.23.iso

We REALLY need your program for the latest versions of f13 Soas

liveinst and Anaconda are both failing,
so there is NO way to install to Hard Disk....

The only way left for me to test the Nightly Composes of Soas

http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/soas/

is with a script built USB!

(./livecd-iso-to-disk  --format --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 2000 
/home/xxx/Desktop/soas-i386-20100421.18.iso /dev/sd(*)

I downloaded the f13 (yum install zyx-liveinstaller) version and your 
program and this is the zyx-liveinstaller.log:

Is there any chance you could look at this?

Cordially;

Tom Gilliard
