This install procedure is ALPHA code, and `--{__________)
|
|
may very possibly *DESTROY* the contents of your
|
|
ENTIRE DISK! Please do not proceed with this installation
|
|
unless you've adequately backed up your data first!
|
|
|
|
If any errors occur during this installation, you can see them
|
|
by toggling over to the alternate screen. Type ALT-F2 to switch
|
|
to the debugging screen and 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,
|
|
PageUp/PageDown and TAB keys. To suspend the installation at any point,
|
|
hit ESC twice. If you've ever dealt with a DOS installation before, then
|
|
you'll probably know how to deal with this.
