This is starting to really bug me.  If users resize their video screen to 800x600  the EULA is full screened, but the user has no way to get to the NEXT button at the bottom.    And neither can i resize this cause of the initial bug.  

Thus, i'm stuck not being able to proceed with the installer and forced to quit via the X.  This has got to be fixed.

See the EULA fullscreen screenshot.

only workaround here is to change your display to a higher resolution.  however, if you're on a machine where the video card doesnt support anything higher (like this machine i'm using here), then you're stuck.  

blocking?

Need to think about bug 433298 in regards to this, too.

this bug is a dupe of bug 433298.   Keep this around for the screenshots though and STR though.
