[Interest] Installer problems

[Turtle Creek Software]

Thanks for the suggestion.  We did finish the installs eventually, but
we'll try that if the problem repeats in the future.
If time-outs are a common problem, maybe it would help to add this as an
option in the installer interface? More accessible than a terminal command
line buried in a wiki...
Thanks, Casey McD
