No, it does NOT gives you the option to choose which version of XFree86. I think
the reasoning behind this is that most newbies would not understand the impact of
choosing verion 4.0. This is especially true for those from the M$ world.
On another note, has anyone had a successful FTP installation? I think I am
getting hit with aforementioned corrupt packages problem. I have tried it three
times, from different mirrors.
Another weird problem that occurred deals with DiskDrake and the ReiserFS. After
one unsuccessful FTP installation, I decided to try again. However, this time I
did NOT re-create the partitions (/boot, /, swaps, and /opt), I merely reformatted
and error-checked them. After the installation completed, it informed me that it
was unable to mount my root partition. Any guesses? I haven't had time to really
look at it yet.
