Hi,

I experience the same error in installing 3.0.1 for PowerMacG5,
downloaded from ydl.net enhanced. My system is dual cpu 2.0 GHz
with 2.5 GB RAM, an OS 10.3 preinstalled machine (Language 
Japanese), which has been reformatted with 10.3 disk utility to
have a space to install YDL. For Linux partitions, I partitioned
with pdisk of YDL 3.0.1.

The same error occured both the gui install and the text install,
(though first part of the error messages are a little different).

I use an Apple JIS keyboard (the Apple keyboard for Japanese). 
Is this problem?
Or, the HDD is formatted with 10.3 diskutil, is this problem?

Anaconda stops with messages:
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 634, in nextClicked self.dispatch.gotoNext()
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 150, in gotoNext self.moveStep()
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 215, in moveStep rc=apply(func, self.bindArgs(args))
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/partitioning.py", line 57, in partitionObjectsInitialize partitions.setFromDisk(diskset)
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/partitions.py", line 114, in setFromDisk ptype = fsset.fileSystemTypeGet(partedUtils.map_forreign_to_fsname(part.mac_native_type))
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/fsset.py", line 61, in fileSystemTypeGet return fileSystemTypes[key]
KeyError: Foreign

Thanks,
kaz
