[wp-hackers] anyway around wp hanging on install?

[Dion Hulse (dd32)]

Sounds like PHP needs to be configured correctly to handle the fact it
can't send emails.. WordPress is going to call the php mail()
function, and i'd assume that's where it's hanging. Take a close look
at your php mail config..
