The installation ran all the way through to the post-install
configuration. Yehaaa!!!
But, don't pull out the beer just yet, then it crashed as follows:
mini-wm: fatal io error 2 (connection reset by peer) on x server :1.0
the application "anaconda" lost its connection to the display :1.0
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed the
application
install exited abnormally
sending termination signals...

I'd recommend you try the install again, but install in text mode--not
in graphic mode ("boot: text").
^^^^^^^^^^
If that works, then we can work on getting X functional.

Anaconda still crashes when it tries to run X, but the text based install
ran without flaw. After installed, I stuck my NVIDIA GeForce4 MX440 and X
found the card and let me configure it. Everything seems great.
So, the question is... How exactly do I force a text-based install?
Is this a LILO option that I set in lilo.conf?
Text-based installs are done by simply entering "text" at the "boot:"
prompt when booting off the CD as is shown in the part above that you
quoted:
