i was installing 2.1.0 on a clean system. it was happening on a 28.8 PPP link. it did work. but the procedure was not the best. here is what could be improved: error reporting and starting off where one leaves off: i had to go thru the install process 7 times, mainly because the install process could not find something like man pages in the archive. the install process would fail and there was no way to take advantage of this situation. "signal 11, i'm dead" received this one mainly when i had a PPP ftp session going, it caught a signal it didn't like and stopped the xfer. the link was up but when i restarted the install, this message came up. it did not come up if the ppp link was dead. finally it reached a point where it liked everything it found and moved forward with the installation. there was no way of knowning what sated it at that point and not at no others. just some data points... tim p
