Hmm.

I havent actually /done/ anything to get the error but follow the 
install flow.

When i go down the list and reach Architecture Optimize, I choose it, 
and select Pentium III. I then select Speedy & Strip. When I hit ok, I 
get two text error messages, mainly saying it can't write to 
/mnt/root/mnt/root blah blah. Then a dialog pops up saying "Settings 
successfully saved in   " with no location.

I don't know if it saves them successfully or not (i'm betting not) - 
But i get the error consistently everytime.

I am setting root as disc0/part1 if that makes a difference. And this 
is on a system where i have nuked the drive, reformatted as ext3, and 
mounted as /

My first guess would be that that portion of the installer uses a 
variable in the path, which it must be possible to corrupt. Maybe just 
hardcode it?
