Btw, I can't be positive - I unfortunately didn't take a note, but when it froze, previously, it did not get to installation complete; I think it froze after updateing d/b config; whether it was on setting up cobbler, or restarting services, but it was one or the other.

He doesn't want me to spend a lot of time on figuring out what broke it, but as time allows, I intend to lock down this server, following what they did, and if I can find what breaks it, I will post here.
