14.3.2. Saving Traceback Messages Without a Diskette Drive
If you receive a traceback error message during installation, you can usually save it to a diskette.
If you do not have a diskette drive available in your system, you can scp
the error message to a remote system.
This information does not apply to users of headless IBM System p systems.
When the traceback dialog appears, the traceback error message is automatically written to a file named /tmp/anacdump.txt
. Once the dialog appears, switch over to a new tty (virtual console) by pressing the keys
Ctrl
-
Alt
-
F2
and scp
the message written to /tmp/anacdump.txt
to a known working remote system.
