Comments/Problems:
I installed twice, and after the base install the system rebooted. The
reboot failed both times. The last message in the boot sequence was
similar to 'Detected two usb ports'. My machine only has one usb port.
At any rate I simply turned off the machine and booted, this boot
completed and the installation process continued.
I already have a running system and was disappointed by the lack of
consideration for those of us who do have running systems when it came
time to install the boot loader. I have no problem with lilo (although I
don't use it), but I didn't want or need to install ANY boot loader and
saw no option for avoiding the lilo installation (I even erased the
input dialog completely and it still installed).
