I found that YNARI prompt too, and 'retrying' failed to do anything. I
looked at the log- it seemed to be having trouble unpacking
\os2\dll\wincfg.dll, because it was in use. (pstat didn't report it as
being loaded, though. very odd). Rebooting didn't help. It was ALWAYS in
use.
	I fixed it by booting off floppy, deleting the file, and then
booting back off the HD drive and running the selective install again.
No YNARI. Win-OS/2 worked.
