Oh, I must have missed that one... I was planning on doing a complete
reinstall once 6.1 final is done (download an ISO and do a
CD-burn/install). I just thought I'd try it out... so you don't
recommend an upgrade with the text-based installer then? Hmmm... are
there plans to fix this? Or, with 6.2, will Panoramix be the defacto and
no more text-based install?
