Yes. I guess i could simply load that module after everything else is
installed. But, this is not the normal behaviour...

128 MB RAM. The cdrom is a DVD device (40X, i believe) on a fast SCSI bus
(AHA2940). The hard disk is
a 10K rpm from IBM, on the ultra2-lvd socket of the SCSI controller. It
normally takes about 9-10 minutes to do a full install with the text tool (~
1.2 GB). Whenever i am able do the same with the graphic tool, i can report
the time. However, i could not simply do that with the graphic tool. When i
selected the 'Install all', it did not do that (one of the many glitches).
But i DID install a few packages, and the graphics refreshes made it look
like it was going slower than the text tool. I had a feeling it was due to
the graphic progress updates on the screen.
