Re: [Cooker] RE: INSTALL
Ok. i think this is an ftp timeout problem like we were having before. If i go through the setup, and skip the partition format (i.e. i select mount points but then tell it not to format) it installs fine.

this always mean bad things happened. I've just added a better error message for
this one:
-x "$o-{prefix}/usr/bin/dumpkeys" or die
"Some bad packages didn't get installed properly.
Please switch to console 2 (using ctrl-alt-f2) and look at the log file /tmp/ddebug.log
