This is an old problem due to a very faulty Turboinstaller. I got that effect
when I tried to install it using a VGAcard in Hercules mode. The dumb thing
doesn't write to Standard Output. (Text screen)
Since no one else is likely to do it, I will suggest you go back and pick up
the PREVIOUS version - Arachne 1.50b2 and forget the s.r.c. version.
