Hi,
I have rebuilt sysinstall inside the 0207-SNAP area and can
recreate the problem by simply running sysinstall as root and
running an installation to /install. Also, previously, I was
using a cdrom as the media, I am now using ftp.
In gdb, I get the following traceback: (Note, I copied
properties.c from libutil to the sysinstall directory to avoid
rebuilding the library).
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

So, anyways, after the installation of the XF86336 distribution
dist Xset, we appear to be trashing the properties list.
Has anyone else seen this problem, or, has anyone else been
successfully using sysinstall?
I will continue to debug this and post my findings.
Thanks!
