That's your opinion of course, I and others pretty strongly disagree. There are things that should absolutely be asked at install time. However, install time is not the proper place to ask every possible question someone might want to configure. There's a balance to be struck. Of course there

Actually - I found something. This solaris machine is a virtual machine, and I shutdown one of the other virtual machines. As soon as I did that, everything was awesome. I am not sure if there's simply too much load on the CPU, or if the other VM just needs vmware tools installed, but I know
