I think this behavior (already in several Linux distros) is really far more intuitive that the old FreeBSD version, but it is a bit disconcerting at first. It really does not take much to get used to and I think anyone who is either new to Unix or familiar with most Linux distros will be far less confused. For the record, you change options with <SPC> and <ENTER> accepts the current action button; usually "OK" or "Cancel". <TAB> moves between action buttons. Maybe we need to add a screen at the start of the installation warning that dialog behavior has changed. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer - Retired E-mail: kob6558@gmail.com
