10.6: A caution on changing brightness during install
Authored by: ejtttje on Aug 31, '09 09:44:08AM

This happened to me as well, but I'm pretty sure I didn't change the brightness.

I just set the installer running and took a nap. I heard it reboot before I dozed off, and when I came back later it was just finishing the installation. The backlight was off however, and the brightness keys didn't do anything—good thing it was a bright day so I could see the ghost of the installation window and progress bar and could tell it was still running!

Anyway, I just let it finish the install and reboot again and all was well. Still, an easy way for a less fortunate user to panic and try to force a reboot during the install :(
