You may have a point there. :-) If the software is well-written, "default" asks you questions that anyone needs to think about, and "custom" asks questions that reflect the developer's expectations but not their preferences. Anyway, I've been a sysadmin long enough to know that the difference between the "default" and the "custom" install is always worth comparing. -Chuck PS: I think the local jargon translates the above to "/stand/sysinstall should follow the principle of least surprise".
