I agree with you that something's amiss here; the installer should not have happily proceeded after I was forced to skip a step that was going to make adding packages impossible. I saved the bad cd-rw, but at the moment I have nowhere to do the install to get you the information you want. I'll try to set up an install on a virtual machine .... /Don > > Sascha
