You need to go in text mode to figure that out. Hit F1 on the opening disk boot
screen and type "text expert " on the command line--That was a much more comfortable
install for me. But the big thing is--it complains if a package is "not found",
unlike the graphic mode.
Also hidden under F1 is the fact (surprise) that the 7.1 install CD is a rescue
disk--no floppies needed.
