- I second this idea. I wanted to have hda2 as / and hda3 mounted as /usr,
- but the doinstall script wanted to install everything on one partition.
- So, all I had to do was edit the offending lines in doinstall, and...
- Well, obviously I couldn't because there was no editor. I had to go
- through quite a few hoops to get the file edited.

- Great package, by the way
