Actually, if you just hit "Next", with the default being to create a 
boot diskette, it does hang for a long time. I did this mistake on my 
IBM Thinkpad once, and I had to wait for what seemed like an eternity 
until it stopped trying to find a floppy. It is safe to assume that 
anyone will think the box is frozen after 5 minutes of inactivity.
