Hmm. OK. When I tested the ISO the setup screen looked garbled to me, too. But 
I thought it was just my VNC viewer that was acting up. It didn't lock up when 
I entered IP, Netmask, Gateway and DNS server "blindly".

But yes, if this is a general problem and not just something with my VNC 
viewer, then it needs to be fixed.

I just looked at it. For the setup menu we use "dialog", which renders the 
menu. Apparently something changed on CentOS-5.8. The same code works 
flawlessly on CentOS-5.6 and SL-6, SL-6.1 and SL-6.2. How I just love that.

But if I throw in a /usr/bin/reset into setup.sh to clear the screen before 
calling dialog, it seems to work fine now.

I'll roll up a new CentOS-5.8 CD.
