Hi,

I've been able to reproduce this problem on two different machines (a
IBM laptop and a p3 desktop), also, some other people have reported this
on IRC. The problem is as follows. During the tarball install, sysinst
segfaults, causing the install to abort. The workaround I've done so far
is as follows:

1) Reboot
2) You reboot and drop to single user, since rc_confugred is not set
3) mount /usr if necessary
4) mount -u /
5) for i in /usr/INSTALL/*.tgz; do tar xzpvf $i;done
6) use sed to change rc_configured to YES
7) reboot
8) now you have a usable system, use vi to setup ifconfig.ifname and
friends

Question: has any other people found this problem? I think I still have
the core files somewhere, could we try to find where the problem lies?
Both boxes installed 1.5.3 flawlessly.

TIA,
