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.

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.
