Yes, it appears to have been fully installed -- as best as I can tell without
actually running it.

I think the best clue is something following the message

	"Examining configuration files:"

or something close to that.  Do you see that being printed anywhere during the
installation?

Sorry, but I do not have any other system to try installing this on.  If no
one else is reporting a problem, then it may just have been a fluke here.
