> The forced visual config on install is a horrible thing. Forced config is a I think this will be a matter of opinion, and you may rest assured that I won't do anything to change it until I've collected a reasonable amount of feedback on it. If it's predominantly negative, then I'll certianly nuke it. Another thing that occurred to me about an hour after I released the boot floppy was that detecting "Q" or "ESC" as special values for the "any" key in intro and assume an immediate quit would probably be a good idea. Would that make you any happier? For the rest of the users who just aren't RTFM'ing and setting their hardware up properly (sending a message to us which then gets 5 replies all saying "Boot -c!"), I think this feature is just plain mandatory. It's not like I set your on-disk kernel up like this either, it only happens once. You must have a very low capacity for tedium. :-) > The installation process froze my keyboard (Flipping between alt-f1 alt-f2) > about half way through the install, after it completed it popped my back to t he > main console and unlocked the keyboard.

There was nothing I could figure out Yeah, I changed the policy on touching /etc to be a bit more paranoid, and it looks like I'm checking more failure cases than I should be. I'll fix it, thanks.
