Just tried to do a livecd install and got:
Error creating Live CD : Unable to install: [('file /sbin/halt conflicts
between attempted installs of sysvinit-2.86-22.i386 and
upstart-0.3.9-9.fc9.i386', (6, '/sbin/halt', 0L)),
......
Looks like redhat-lsb requires things like /sbin/shutdown which are
provided by both sysvinit and upstart. Since upstart is "shorter" I
believe it wins these.
Not sure how yum should be told that sysvinit is the preferred package
to satisfy these dependencies.
(Or perhaps the problem is something completely different, I'm no expert
here).
My anaconda install didn't complain, but installed upstart by default
instead of sysvinit - not sure that this is expected.
