This option is only available to people who have booted the installer
with "expert". I have limited patience for people who think they are
experts and are not familiar with man pages.
Me not trying to cause any conflict, but newbies often learn a lot by
fiddling, and a small note on the installer on how sudo works won't
hurt (it will actually help such a newbie before he gets a small
headache and runs off to some "user-friendly" distro)...
Anyways, I didn't know that one has access to man pages during
installation. Is that because I'm a newbie myself?
