I'm booting off of CD, using ks=floppy:/ks.cfg.  I haven't checked any 
of the consoles.  Last night was the last I tried and at that point it 
failed on the first package, @ office, and I was presented with a Python 
debug session that I just canceled out of.

I'll give it another shot if the Python messages would be of any help.
