Subject: Minor glitches with sysinstall in 10-06 SNAP

Hi gang;

	Jordan has succeeded in making sysinstall useful for post install
use...mostly :-).

	At least on my machine, when using the ftp method, sysinstall
fails to "return to the top of the loop" when the list of packages to be
installed exceed 1.

	if you ask it to install foo.tgz and bar.tgz and baz.tgz it never
gets past the "install of foo.tgz completed" message. It never goes back
to the list to start over with bar.tgz.

	Also, there is an outstanding bug that has lingered thru several
revs of sysinstall ( circa 2.1? ). If one has selected ftp install and
then realizes that one has made a mistake somewhere in the configuration
of the net connection, sysinstall will catch a sig11 ( "sig11, stopping
myself" ) once the ppp0 (or what have you) is reselected.

	happy to provide clarification for any one that needs or wants
it...
