Perhaps this might be summed up as:

1) I've been talking to Romana
 - about various things

2) You say I should be talking to Jaymz
 - about installer matters (and perhaps more)

It's really quite easy; I've not implied a thing about people's jobs or
roles.

I take it that you don't accept useful work; is my previous sentence
dripping with enough sarcasm? I may be able to do better.

Your footnote is [1] tomorrow.

Maybe we could merge some ComputerBank documents into a fully fledged
LDP-Howto.

Do I want to push it?

If people insist on thinking that I'm submitting a show-stopping bug
report on some or all of the ComputerBank installer (no matter what it
is called), then obviously your course of action is just and valid.

But I've already said it works, but in my opinion I don't like it. Now
rather than sit down and type a whole 50 page report of why I don't
particularly like it I've decided to go and make a Debian PGI installer
that I happen to like.

For me.

And only me.

Oh, and I happen to have offered to give it away to ComputerBank
following the lead of the open source community. Perhaps I should have
shut up and just rolled it out for myself.
