 Hi!

 I've been trying to install MacPorts 2.3.4 on my new Macbook Air, and it
 is stuck on the Running Package Scripts screen.

 I assume that it is trying to download the packages with selfupdate, but
 despite the fact that I have a good broadband, it is now more than an hour
 and I cannot tell from the log (attached) whether it has actually
 downloaded any packages.

 Any hints? Can I just kill the Installer and try to do the selfupdate
 through the command line instead?
