To be honest with you, Michael, I really don't recall. I just remember that
this hideous install program has issues with numlock.
Or maybe it was the KBD file that did.

Oh, and are you configuring Xy for full screen or for a window. I think full
screen is probably best, but usually that isn't a problem.

FYI, twice I have ventured to Baltimore to meet with the now mythological Ken
Frank, who did indeed exist as late as the summer of 1998. At one of those
meetings he said unto us that yes, the install program was a poor one. As has
become his custom, however, he failed to do anything about it.
