Hrm... yeah, bummer. Well you could try to wait it out and see if it
recovers or not. I do remember it pausing a long time at one point and I
simply waited for what I thought was way too long and it recovered. I
don't remember if this was with the DVD drive or not. I suppose I could
try to re-install again and see if this happens again. Give it a try and
let me know if it happens again, and if so, I'll try to reproduce it as
well and see if I can make it work with only the DVD drive.
Cheers,
Chris
