I got it installed last night - guess this is RC3 - with no trouble on an i686 machine. I had to separately download and install control-center-extra to set the window focus behavior. I wish you guys could find it in your hear to include that package in the install CD set - it's just a little thing, and I can't live with having to click the mouse to change focus from one window to another.
The other thing I did was to include dialup networking during software customization. When I tried to setup dialup networking at least it doesn't crash anymore, but it puts up a window saying kudzu is required. I wish you could either wean it off kudzu or include kudzu in the install disk set and have it included by checking dialup networking support. It's easy enough for me to download it separately, but if this were my only computer and a first-time experience I wouldn't be able to download it without dial networking operating, and I wouldn't be able to get dial networking operating without having downloaded it. Catch-22.

Does ModemManager handle this, or is that strictly for broadband usage?
Thanks, James

Not ModemManager but NetworkManager should be able to configure a modem connection. There shouldn't be any need to use the old-skool configurator.

Well I wish it would be changed back to the way it wuz. Don't see any reason for the change.

I don't know. How to I run ModemManager?

<useless_rant> I have it the other way - I want to *exclude* dialup networking support, but I have no chance, because a lot of software I use depends (indirectly) on ppp stuff. But I haven't used ppp on my desktops in the last eleven years or so .... </useless_rant>
