Sirs,

The new graphical install (just like all its predecessors) continues to omit
the necessary final step of running updatedb and makewhatis.

Until such time as these are run, the 'locate'. 'whatis' and 'apropos'
commands function but produce no results, and, double whammy, they do not 
produce any complaint that their databases have not been set up.

This is extremely misleading, deceptive, and abusive to the new user.

This should be added as a final step for all modes of the install, with
its own LED at the bottom of the left column.
