If you get to the mouse with the little multi-colored box that
surrounds it.. hit enter a few times then type in your chosen password
mine is "test".  I can get to the desktop that way but the colors are
terrible and some dialog boxes are still screwed.  That was from an
Alternate powerpc CD/USB as I remember..

I think Ron has a way to set the desktop after that but the install is
just to danged complicated and deserve a fail at this time.
