I've now heard from at least a half dozen folks who have had the exact 
same thing happen.

Apparently the installation stops after doing a complete install of your 
OS software, but some or all of your extras, such as Safari and other 
programs, may not get installed.  The way to deal with it at the point 
you are at is to do a Custom install of all of the extras in the Panther 
installer.  They should install and work without a problem.
