 I'm not quite sure I follow the reasoning for always capitalizing sysinstall.  I
 can see where it might be capitilized at the beginning of a sentence but try to
 avoid that to prevent confusion on how to invoke the command.
 
 I would think that if it were a command, it should be shown exactly as it
 would be invoked.  Perhaps I'm missing something here.
 
 Randy
