DetailsProblem:
During the installer, if you select to use nano and unwary open and saves a config file with a long line, nano's wounderful linewrap might mess up the layout/syntax. 'Just' had a case on #archlinux, where a new install (2008.06 iso) failed to boot, because the 'kernel /vmlinuz' line in menu.lst was split on 2 lines by nano, when the user opend and saved the file. Proposed solution: Make the installer use `nano -w` instead of `nano` |
