 hello, had same issue as described with 7.1 on brand new dell inspirion.
 
 first impossible to install via FTP since em0 is now igb0 (saw that on
 errata).
 then, after burning a DVD-1, i managed to progress until :
 
 Installation selecting <6> Kern-developper : FAILS when attempting to
 install extra-packages
 error msg :
 
 "Write failure on transfer! wrote -1 bytes of 1425408"
 
 
 
 if selecting install Express then "Minimal" AND "Custom" (man pages), it
 works.
 (as decribed in this link :
