Description jah 2000-04-13 14:18:59 UTC

Graphical install: after finishing with the disk druid screen the install
hangs. ps aux reveals nothing of note, and no error messages on any console
screens.

Text install: On leaving the disk druid screen the install terminates with
signal 11. This SEGV also happens if you use fdisk, when you choose "done".

I have traced this problem to a mangled partition table. I wrote zeros over it
and started from scratch, everything works fine now.
