Correct, added between 0.1.1 and 0.1.2 when _I_ got tired of swapoff 
/dev/hda1. :)

I'll make crtl-alt-del available to execute a clean shutdown.

I haven't given up on the anaconda route. Brock Organ of Red Hat has 
shared some of his scripts, and it looks like there are some interesting 
possibilities. Expect something by next week. I've been bouncing around 
between different ideas just to see what is possible and what isn't.

Well, sort of. The installer asks which disk to install on (only a single 
disk is possible currently, and then only the first 4 ide devices) and 
then opens up your choice of fdisk or cfdisk from within the installer. 
So yes, it happens inside the installer. The user does have to do the 
actual partitioning. The installer then checks the results of the 
partitioning to be sure there is at least one partition for the root file 
system, and one for swap. Currently, it only wants to see a minimum of 2, 
and a max of 3 partitions.

It's working now, just cleaning it up a little, editing the README file, 
finishing up the adding selectable options for networking, openssh,  etc.
