Ouch, I thought it was just me that it was happening too, heh - try
clicking them all thru a everything install you did before - then to
have it lock up....

Wonder how it behaves if you opt to do the standard text install in
this situation.
What I want to know is what good is the part that "saves your
selections" or something like that.. where is this saved? whats it
used for? if its what i think it is, how do you access it to cut time
out on a reinstall... well, the re-installs are not going so well
with the new install interface, but its a neat interface, and with a
some tweaking, it should be good.

And it also works with my 3 Com hub now. YDL 1.2.1 would always fail
on initializing the eth0 if i had it running thru the 3 Com. After
taking the hub out, and direct connecting, i had connectivity. Never
could figure that one out, but at least with YDL 2, it sees it and
connects. 8-)
