One thing more to be done after an installation is another thing too much. Excuse me when I insist here at a seemingly boring point. It should be the objective to automate installation as much as possible. It's bad enough that the X installation isn't yet at a point where it can measure with Linux distributions. Putting more stumbling blocks than necessary into the installation process is something in the wrong direction. I have great respect at Jordans efforts in the field of installation and I know how hard it is to deliver fool proof user interfaces. All I can do for now is suggest a change in /root/.cshrc: if ( -x /usr/bin/vi ) then setenv EDITOR vi else setenv EDITOR /stand/ee fi hoping that the discussion doesn't heat up at nits. > > --Chris Christoph P.
