>Description:
When trying to install 2.2.6-RELEASE, I found I was unable to reconfigure my kernel
when booting with a boot disk made from the latest boot.flp.
I configured it fine in the visual configuration editor, however upon hitting 'Q' to exit,
the system hangs with a flashing cursor in the top left of the screen.
I had originally thought this was due to a peculiarity of my machine, but I have since heard of at least one other person having
the same problem.
>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to use the visual configuration tool when booting with the
2.2.6-RELEASE boot floppy.
