Vista Beta2 64bit Install ...uh "hangs" I think

Hey Mark, thanks for the quick response. My initial installation (on an HP
Workstation xw6200) is still progressing, albeit very slowly. While waiting
for that one to proceed I went ahead and tried installing it an HP xw9300
Workstation, this succeeded without any issues although I had to use the on
screen keyboard in order to successfully login. Using the regular keyboard
kept causing failures.
Anywho, I am slowing progressing. Thank you for the tips. At this point it
just looks like it takes 8 or 12 hours to install on hp xw6200, i guess we'll
see.
