One thing I like about the current arch install methodology is that it's incremental. If you don't have time to finish the install in one sitting all you need do is remember which step last completed then start up the computer and carry on from there at some later time. Since alternatives exist for boot loaders if one doesn't work you can go and try another and when that works and everything else has worked before that in the install process you're good to go. A single install program might get the intelligence to try to install multiple boot loaders to find out which ones will work and which won't, but I've never encountered any single install program that did that as a routine matter yet. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- jude <jdashiel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Adobe fiend for failing to Flash
