It starts to install (I did not select my packages but selected the custom install and then answered the questions about what I wanted to do with my system) and then quits after installing a few packages. I don't have this problem if I install from the base disks first. Also, I believe I can install ncurses manually and then continue, but I am not sure. -- Andrew
