>Release:        2.2-BETA
>Environment:
2.2-BETA install floppy
>Description:
When I hit control-C while the 2.2-BETA install is waiting for
a response to a RETR command, it pops up a dialog box asking if
I want to abort the installation, but does not allow me to make
a selection.  The machine is not hung, as I can alt-F2 and see
the debug messages, and I can alt-F4 and use the EHS, but sysinstall
is hung.

>How-To-Repeat:
Use the 2.2-BETA FTP install, disconnect the network right after the
FTP client sends a RETR command, watch it not time out, hit control-C
and watch the dialog box come up that you can't type into.
