If I recall correctly, the Installer is not the one giving that message.
At least when I wrote the first version, it was the FD itself giving the
message when called with /install et al. (Hence I had no way of getting
rid of it in the installer.) Unless somebody added these messages to the
new installer (and forgot to make them silencable), the FD probably
needs modifying. This subject already came up on the list if I recall
correctly, unfortunately I have forgotten the outcome of that discussion.
