hang on install packages

[Grant]

Yep. me.  I installed developer workstation (or tried to) and came back 
to find a reboot and a kernel panic.  Redid it with "home/office"; 
thinking maybe I ran out of room.

for the record, thsi is YDL 2.3 on a mac 6400 on a 2nd SCSI drive, with 
a 3 GB partition (the initial 1GB is my mirror/backup of the main IDE).

10 MB boot; 256 MB swap; 2811MB main (linux).
