While "going on forever" would actually be required in order
to fix things, I'm more interested in why you think that
sysintall needs "to go" - or did I misunderstand your previous
post? Do you think that there are simply so many problems
with sysinstall that it's not worth fixing? I guess I was
looking at the basic menu-driven layout and wondering
what you saw wrong with that.
