I've been using it for a couple of days on a WinXP SP1 box and a Win2K 
SP2 box. No problems on either.

However, one of the installations has had a long-standing problem 
(across all the setup versions I've tried), that I'd love to track down.

I've always excluded (Skip) all XFree86 packages. One of the boxes 
understands and remembers this - it doesn't auto-select any of the 
XFree86 packages on subsequent runs of setup, but the other doesn't 
remember this, and always insists on selecting a number of the XFree86 
packages, which I then have to Skip by hand each time.

Any hint on where to look (config files, download area, registry, ...) 
to figure out why this is happening?

Thx,

Shankar.
