Ok, well I just did an install of the Oct 4th 4.1.1 SNAP and never
came across anything prominent enough to catch my attention, I'm
not asking for <blink> or anything, but as someone hurrying through
the 'custom' install, I didn't see squat.

If it could be more prominetly asked then I don't see the point of
continuing this discussion any further until patches are sent in.

If Jordan catches this, I'm not flaming sysinstall, I'm flaming
the people attacking each other when a much simpler compromise/solution
is easily accomplished with a bit of elbow grease.

thanks,
