Re: Install hangs...

[George Gensure <werkt@csh.rit.edu>]

What machine are you trying to install this on?

Chances are you have an unsupported video card in your machine.  Indy's 
with XZ Newport cards will do this as well as other mips machines with 
non-newport XL boards.
Try installing via console.
