ENTIRE DISK! Please do not proceed with this installation

If any errors occur during this installation, you can see them
|
|
by toggling over to the alternate screen - type ALT-F2 to switch
|
|
over, ALT-F1 to switch back to the install screen. The debugging
|
|
output on the second screen may be very valuable to us in understanding

your bug report, so please be sure to take note of it when reporting
|
|
any failures in the installation! Thanks!

|
Menus and scrolling output windows may be traversed with the arrow

and Page Up/Page Down keys. To abort the installation at any point,

hit ESC twice. Hitting TAB will move the focus to different controls.

If you've ever dealt with a DOS installation, you'll know how to deal

|
with this.
