>Description:

The sysinstall program's install.c file has a message in it with this
odd sentence:

   You can also choose "No" at the next prompt and go back into the
   installation menus to try and retry whichever operations have failed.

(It was probably meant to say "to try to retry", which is almost as bad.)
