Well I tested this on my machine here and I still see the problem, though
with notsc it seems less frequent. I'm concerned that may be wishful
thinking on my part. I have noticed a new behavior where the install
red-screen fails during the "selecting and installing packages" bit towards
the end of the install. I get a stall like before, but this time when I hit
a key to continue, rather than carrying it, it drops me out to the red
screen. Even if I go go back a few steps in the install process, it keeps
giving me a red screen "A installation step has failed" or the like. I need
to do some more testing and see if I can get it to reliably correlate to
something I'm changing, but as you pointed out, it's getting late here
too...
