What I did was to install in expert mode, when it got to installing special
parts, I asked it to install the network console.
Then I allowed it to proceed and (after a bit) I was invited to log in via ssh,
which I did.
That way I was able to run the installed in one window and see your mail in
another window. Then I copy-pasted your instructions. from the mail to the
installer window (one line at a time). There were no error messages while I
did that, if that makes a difference.
If it will help, I can mount the disk I installed to on another machine and
copy the install log files. Will those show you what you want to see?
I will try again soon, with your suggestion regarding "print-config", and take
careful notes. I'll report again when I have the results.
Thanks!
Rick
