Cool! BTW, it is fine in expert mode, since anyone who needs to do this
kind of thing will probably use expert mode anyway ;-).

Will I be able to test in the relative safety of diskdrake, or will I need
to install?

I think the drakconnect stuff needs to be tested and checked a lot. Its
the first thing people miss after working basic install.

Also, some means of preventing newbies ever seeing a text login prompt (ie
make Xkeepscrashing launch XFdrake). I am sure this was the case at some
stage (7.1? 7.2?).

Better notices about proprietary hardware (that commercial packs have
drivers, and maybe MandrakeClub)?
