The icon is me yawning- my alarm goes off in an hour- ugh- napping at work today.
I reinstalled 10.0, upgraded to 10.0.4, then installed from the CD...
"Erase volume and format as..." hmm... sure- a squeaky clean install...
It brings you to the setup assistant without any localization information- I was able to get into the OS by inserting a blank CD, clicking on initialize to open up disk first aid, going into help, and then clicking on any of the "open this for me" links, which opened something by using the finder, which, if it wasn't present, opened. Unfortunately, there isn't any way to convince the MacOSX setup assistant that I'd setup and was good to go- correction, I couldn't find any way- so it's back to the drawing board for me. I had work to do tonight too

gaaaaaaah
