McGovern" Sender: owner-freebsd-qa@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have some more info. It looks like its a screen redraw issue. When selected, it gives the message that its installing, and it checks the check box (which you can see on the message screen). At that point, the underlying menu is active, but you can't see it unless you start moving the cursor around with the arrow keys. My "success" at hitting a couple of keys making it come back was due to hitting the "Enter" key, and having a parent screen redraw. -Brian > That sounds very weird - I'll see if I can reproduce it! > > - Jordan > > > Just a heads up .
