Post subject:	unfinished manual install
when i try a manual install after it formats hda1 and copies files it says knoppmyth was successfully installed to hd. then it dumps to a prompt. Shouldnt it reboot on its own like auto. should i just reboot it manually or is there a command it should execute next?
