I've been able to confirm what the problem is here and it doesn't look
good. It is in fact related to the absence of the FPU. I pulled mine
out and tried doing an installation with the 1.6F distribution and got
the error. With the FPU installed the installation works fine.
A quick check of the m68k directory doesn't turn up and recent updates,
so this may be caused by a compiler error.
Ideas anyone?
