Comments/Problems:

<Everything proceeded smoothly until "Configuring xserver-xorg" in the graphical startup. Now it's stuck, returning to this question regardless of my input, "Video modes to be used by the X server:". The system is 86% configured. Any help would be appreciated. I'm not sure how to proceed. I would generally just do a hard shutdown, but I'm feeling patient. Also I'm afraid that I will lose whatever has been setup to this point, which included fetching 672 packages over a DSL line. Thanks.>
