I'll echo that. And for your programming pleasure, I installed 2.2.1 the other day and discovered a few .. problems.. with sysinstall: 1. Selecing Samba->User after installing caused infinite Sig11's. Restarted with persistent Cntl-Alt-Del's, so no post-install got done. The resultant system had users with *'d passwords. Had to use -s and passwd root to get anywhere. I think I selected to install samba. 2. Cosmetic: On the "Choose Distributions" screen, entering "custom" and then exiting custom by selecting "< < Exit" and then moving the selection bar results in some screen corruption in the selection box. The tag field looks like it's been reduced to 8 characters.
