Make that v0.3.96, I just realized I had never uploaded the latest build. 
I made the suggested change, and rebuilt the images. Uploading now, 
should be done in about an hour.

- From the CHANGELOG:	
slinky-v0.3.96  - June 12, 2003
                - Script cleanup to make some prompts less ambiguous.
                - Added the setterm binary to the install.
                - Modified the initscripts to turn off
                  console blanking during the install.
                - Added several virtual console capture device
                  files. We can now do console screen capture.
                  To capture output on VT1: cat /dev/vcs1 > out.file
                  (from VT2, obviously.)
                - Added 'eject' binary to installer filesystem. The
                  Boot CD should now be auto ejected.
                - Removed support for 7.x versions going forward.
                - Added config file support to allow formatting "/"
                  WITHOUT further prompting. Be careful.
