And I don't disagree.  The only thing which prevented me from merging
them to begin with was the fact that dialog/curses represent an
insufficiently advanced UI technology for taking adequate advantage of
the available screen real-estate.  No scrolling list boxes and such
make it necessary to simulate that kind of behavior in the application
and I didn't have time to do that on top of everything else in
sysinstall.  Maybe Mr. Gold will handle this for us in his
semi-mythical sysinstall rewrite. :-)
