Because there are too many things already flying by during a
normal install and this is going to be missed. Uless you stop the
install and make everyone press snter, aggravating an already touchy

Far better to document this in a Secure Debian doc, which
security conscious sysadmins can read.

late, Ah, but sooner or later, it comes down to fate, I might as well
be the one. Well, they showed you a statue, told you to pray, Built
you a temple and locked you away, Ah, but they never told you the
price that you paid, The things that you might have done. So come on,
Virginia, show me a sign, Send up a signal, I'll throw you a line,
That stained glass curtain that you're hiding behind, Never lets in
the sun. Darling, only the good die young! Billy Joel, "Only The Good
