    Not yet. I will do tonight and report back.

    Not sure what would cause X to crash at that particular point in the
    install, though. It's just going through the package load. FWIW, the
    graphics card is a Matrox Millenium, so nothing touchy should be going on
    there. The install has failed twice at about the same point. I didn't
    observe the first one so I'm not sure if it's *exactly* the same point or
    not.

    Also, I've got limited RAM. The installer doesn't complain, though,
    except that it turns on swap right after the partition step.
