I just tried installing 2.2-BETA and had the same troubles as before; the FTP session hung due to what appears to be a race condition in our FTP proxy. There still doesn't appear to be a timeout, as I left it hung for over an hour before I hit control-C. When I hit control-C, it popped up the "Are you sure you want to abort the installation?" dialog box and hung, not responding to arrow keys or enter. I can still switch virtual consoles, and can still type input on other VC's, so the keyboard itself isn't hung, it's sysinstall. Bill
