But can be cued right at the start. Would it hurt to boot from floppy
the first time if the resulting disk were left in the drive. Boy, I wish
floppies were soft-activated like on Mac! Also, I very rarely make a
boot disk since the CD is a good enough rescue disk should things not go
right.

I never test X on install anyway (I test after everything else is known
to work) so I would appreciate a way to tell the installer this right at
the start. Even if I wanted to test X, I would appreciate the machine
breezing its way through everything else, and writing it all to disk,
and sync()ing, and then testing, so I can walk off and leave an install
to run to completion, presuming the test succeeds, and to a highly
useable state if the test kills the machine.
