Sorry if I sound annoying but nobody else answered. I still believe that something must be done to fix sysinstall, so I'm asking you (where "you" means the "others" in Jeremy's message) to provide some additional feedback. Please fill-in the dots in one or more of the following options: 1. We can not make such change sysinstall because ... 2. Your patch is not correct/sufficient. I would be better if ... 3. Please submit a PR. It will momentarily be reviewed by ... 4. Give up. Nobody here cares about this issue. Thanks in advance. -- Carlos A.
