And in the interest of not turning the current installer into a design-by-committee twelve-headed hairy monster like the old one, please stick the knob somewhere out of the way where we're not forced to have to toggle it one way or the other. :-) I would not want to be forced to serially go through a gauntlet of mostly unnecessary questions like the old installer used to do regarding naming, IPv6, and kerberos (for example).
