That is annoying, isn't it? I've got a headless server with xbase
installed ... everytime I hit the final enter during the Select stage,
it pops me into a conflict resolution window where it "suggests" an
xserver, xfntbase*, etc. ... at that point I hit "R"; "Q" and go on my
merry way. Not 100% user-friendly, but not too onerous either.
