shouldn't it just test for it at the start, and provide the question
before it starts reading, because at the momemnt the y/n question comes
after the reading.
BTW: have anyone been working on a transplant script for TL09? By this I
mean a script that can be used when one wants to more a TL09
installation from one mashine to a Windows, and then integrate it into
windows (menus, PATH and stuff). There was a script in TL08, that almost
did all of this.
It will be very handy for install parties, because installing via web or
from DVD is a bit too slow if you have say 20 people trying to install
at once.
Then having the entire installation on a USB will making the
installation a lot faster. (at least in theory)
