Hello all,

I left a hung install shut off in VMWare Server for 1 week and came
back to it and it booted up.  I am in the process of trying to repeat
this finding.  But, my thoughts are that it has something to do with
file timestamps.  Could that possibly ring a bell for anyone?  I was
also led to thinking it had something to do with the xga startup.   I
was thinking that after installation and reboot, if I boot from CD and
remount the fossil partition then I could see what else in the boot
sequence could be occurring.   .... or, I'll just shut up and wait to
hear what you guys figure out....
