I experienced the first part of this ... disk label is (I believe) on the 'after installation menu', and yet it's check is in error, it would appear. It didn't panic on me when I did the fisk, it (I think) refused to do it with an odd error message. I had to use the edit option of the command line version, a truly scary experience. (This is like the same screen letting you go into the add packages and re-add the BIN dist, which also blasts /etc in multi-user mode, no less. Alas, I'm not up on CVS yet enough to hack a fix, and in any case I'm not gonna start with blowing up SYSINSTALL. ) -ahd-
