As you discovered in your previous replies, askmethod works just as
expected to, and as your already doing it.  Guess the installer doesn't
100% boot up as suppose to, as I've had to restart it couple times
before as well.  But just appending askmethod as you were doing is more
than enough and the correct way of doing it.  If it doesn't take like it
did with you before, try asknetwork, maybe add another option if you
need it.  I do askmethod all the time too and mostly works like it
suppose to.

Good luck in your install....
