Hi Jeremy,

This thread should stop here (I hope) we have gone over this ground 
often enough.
That program has broken many an install before, and if it happened to 
work for you great.
However in irc.ubuntu.com #ubuntu we pick up the pieces. Proof is in the 
logs of #ubuntu.

Please do not suggest to people that they could use this program, as I 
and some others say, what you do in the privacy of your own command 
prompt is fine for you, but please do not suggest something that causes 
people to reinstall on a regular basis.

Folks if we can remain calm there will be no flamewar (again).

Regards,

Paul O'Malley
