Install error Yellow Dog Linux 3.0.1

[Greg Hamilton]

The error message is a Python trace-back. In both cases an exception  
has been raised in fsset.py when the 'fileSystemTypeGet' function  
attempts to return a value retrieved from the fileSystemTypes  
dictionary. The code doesn't check for a valid key. Obviously 'Foreign'  
and 'Apple HFS' are invalid keys.

The code is probably building a list of the file system for each disk  
partition and is rather inelegant in it's handling of unknown partition  
types. My guess is that the journalled HFS partition for 10.3 is the  
problem.
