What I would most like to see is an installer that doesn't freeze when
it tries to configure my S3 Virge card in X, which took until 7.2 to get
fixed in the last series, and RPMdrake and urpmi running as reliably as
dpkg does for Debian.. i.e. no freezes or corrupted hdlists.
I'm back in Windoze again due to rpmdrake freezing after installing the
vanilla kernel hence having no ppp support.
