Sounds reasonable for me. Especially depending on your video card. I
tried Redhat once and it insisted on using "superprobe" to detect my
video card. The installation would always *reboot* when it ran
superprobe, and I couldn't find any way to turn superprobe off. I later
found out that xf86config says *not* to probe my particular card.
