Ah yes=E2=80=A6 Because I was watching =E2=80=9CStar Trek Voyager=E2=80=9D= at the time, and the Emergency Medical Hologram = (or = =E2=80=9CEmergency Holographic Doctor=E2=80=9D as the character was more = popularly known) was pretty much the only good thing about the show, so = I paid homage to him when I created an interactive shell on a spare VTY = that could be used to observe the install in progress and potentially = rescue, or intervene =E2=80=9Cmedically=E2=80=9D, in an install going = bad. Like, say, when you fat-fingered your gateway address and saw from = the progress bar that it was stuck trying to transfer from FTP media, = you could use the EHS to quickly rectify that mistake and potentially = save yourself a lot of grief in an aborted install. So yes, a bit of now ancient Trekkie humor on my part, that=E2=80=99s = all. :-) - Jordan
