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.
