I just installed 3.0-971012-SNAP and it went very nice and smooth, except for
dying in the post-installation menu when I tried to get packages. If you
just install, reboot, and fix packages later, if shouldn't be a problem. :-)
I had no problem with it dying either, actually, since it just meant I had
to remove the disk, wait for the system to boot, and install packages later.
The bug is fixed in later SNAPs, Jordan reports. But MFS is broken there. :-(
