I would argue that both your examples (Lilo and an fdisk button) fall into the category of being needlessly redundant. An expert -- the only kind of person who would appreciate the choice -- can choose for themselves if they want to use lilo (admittedly, only after the install) or fdisk (what difference does a button that switches to a console or a key-press sequence make, really?) One of the challenges of putting together a good distribution is choosing reasonable defaults while allowing experts to customize to their heart's content. Fedora is exceptionally good at that, IMHO. -- Ben Steeves _ bcs@xxxxxxxxxx The ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) ben.steeves@xxxxxx against HTML e-mail X GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 http://www.metacon.ca/ascii / \ Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves
