Now that I understand it, I actually like that option.  When I first saw that
slide bar, I did not have a clue of what to do... since I had space on my HD, I
just moved the slider all the way to the right.  I assume a lot of others did
the same.

Now, is the slide bar mentioned in the manual?  I did not read the manual prior
to installing, but then again I had a download disk, not a packaged distro.  And
who RTFM anyway?  Maybe an "on-the-fly" explanation of what the slide bar means
is in order...

And are the "grades" Mandrakesoft gives each package available anywhere?  I
would like to check those grades out.

Thanks,
/J.
