Sorry about that, IE seems to have some bad functionality: I hit <tab> to insert a tab character, then when my cursor disappeared (it moved to the commit button) I hit <space> to see where it was, which apparently mimics <enter>. Hence I sent an unfinished report. Apologies. RedHat 6.0 on i386; installing; at the screen where you select services to start automatically: Hitting F1 gets you a short description, several of these have typos: apmd - battery is misspelled gpm - should read "...applications such as the Mid..." nscd - probably want to say "...caches the results..." routed - shoud be "...tabled updates..." syslog - drop "use to" from "...daemons use to log..." ypbind - I say N.I.S instead of nis as one word. As such you'd want to say "...an N.I.S...", but I might be wrong. yppasswdd - known is misspelled Other things I noticed during the install: When entering a root password, probably stars should be displayed as typing happens. I realize that it's more secure not to do that (hides the length, if the person doesn't count the keystrokes), but novice users are probably confused by that. Certainly, I thought for a minute that the machine had locked when my password didn't show up. When choosing a video card, nowhere on the screen does it say "video". Lots of choose a card references, but not explicit video reference. Doesn't really hurt regular users, but again, might confuse a novice user. Also, it's nicer if the standard/unlisted options are at the top of the list, instead of sorted in alphabetically. When choosing a monitor, it'd be nicer if there were, at the top, a standard and an unlisted entry. Regular users have to hunt to figure out that these are under the custom settings. Also, it's usually more effective if you say that picking incorrect refresh rates will DAMAGE their monitor, rather than saying it's VERY IMPORTANT not to.
