[Bug 1860459] Re: Got an error during installation

[Shantanu Tavargeri]

First off Paul, thanks for the prompt reply, I sincerely appreciate this -
can't imagine Apple or MS ever replying to my bugs :-)
Secondly, the installation went thru without me changing the source of
target devices - i simply tried the whole process again.
That in itself is strange but I guess, for an opensource software, its
acceptable.
Cheers!
