I'm glad it works for you.  I believe that you had success mostly
because you have gnome and kde installed on your computer.  I've been
trying on other distro, and have all kinds of mixed results.  The setup
app defaults to a text only mode if it can't find the required libs for
the gui.  This seems to help on some systems even though the gui is much
nicer, but when the point in installation where installmgr is executed,
things get messed up if the correct libs are not present.  I wish I knew
how to -static link installmgr correctly.  I'm assuming I need other
libs on my box to make this link correctly.


Anyway, gotta work.  More later.
