Hi there -- I am trying to install the 64-bit version onto one of our servers. When I get to the point of loading various software packages, I normally select KDE desktop, and also make sure that CentOS extras is also selected. Once that is done, I click on Next to have the installation continue. Every attempt that I have made has resulted in an exception error occurring with the python packages. As a result, the installation fails. I have not been able to install CentOS since this problem started occurring. Does anyone know of a way I can get around this problem? Thanks.

Doctor: Don't do that! Known issue. That has been removed in 5.6. Do not try to use the extras repo at install time. Phil
