I ran into the same problem except I got the main configuration console
screen but it does not work properly. I tried to make the selections for
my system and the buttons did not indicate which ones were selected. I
went thru the motions and when I hit the apply key for thekeyboard
selection, it crashed and I got a segmentation fault message.
I tried skipping this step, relying on the defaults and I got farther
along but when I selected done I got the same cross hatch screen and the
server locked up. I had to Ctrl-Alt-Backspace out of it. First time I
did that in 2 years. Good news is the leftover Slink configs seem OK and
Potato is running pretty smooth so far. Gnome and Enlightenment seem to
have come a long way.
