Unless the normal slice configuration won't work for > you, there really is no good reason to use "dangerously dedicated". No particular reason actually other than just because. But if that is so then I would suggest adding depreciated or so to the prompt. Too bad I didn't receive this note a tad earlier . Just wiped and reinstalled that disk. The funny thing is that it now boots as advertised. Ah well, one more oddity in a stream that has now held true for four days (and nights). Talking about oddities how about this one. I reinstalled RC1 because not all software got installed. So again I chose All. Again I have, like, no X11. Several other things are missing also. Like the last time part of the manpages likely. So it looks like I'll reinstall at least once again...
