seems as though you are hell bent to deflect the conversation towards
some ex-wife that has no interest or bearing on the discussion
whatsoever. Maybe you bought a six pack but she probably has been much
happier since she left is my guess.

Even though I completely challenged your assertion that you can't get a
virtual console and gave you the step by step method whereby you can
actually verify whether you get a virtual console without doing any
damage to your existing setup, you want to discuss something else.

Well dude... since you can't possibly stay on topic and have
demonstrably proven that you lack the ability to limit the variables
that would undoubtedly impact the outcomes of pretty much everything you
do and always seem to be satisfied that your anecdotal experiences
actually mean something and prove something that only the most weird
circumstances could possibly repeat, why would I waste time speculating
on why things happen on your setups?

DD is just an overlay to fdisk and anything that DD does, is nothing
that anyone can't replicate by using fdisk manually prior to, or as
suggested to the OP upthread, simultaneous to the installation. I never
cease to be amused at your ability to posture that you actually
understand what you are doing. Feel free to bugzilla any problems you
run into.
