Actually, I don't even understand why people prefer to see questions grouped. I personally prefer to type foo[ENTER]bar[ENTER], rather than having to tab between elements, or find out how things are supposed to be separated (by commas, whatever). For instance, I don't even like (but I can live with) the graphical installer asking the dupped password on the same screen, it makes d-i testing a little bit more tedious :) Samuel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
