thanks, champ.

KDE was fully loaded... I played around with the config and lang for a few minutes before starting the install.

I'm wondering... are you saying that Konsole won't work for the install?

Also, I remember from my first run at Linux that I could get out of the GUI by pushing some keys, maybe with an Fx key in there. Would I be better off suing the CLI? I mean, would I lose any install flexibility? Of course, I could Boot: 2.
