While reviewing the upcoming second edition of Michael Lucas'
"Absolute OpenBSD" I actually paid attention to the installer instead
of my usual autopilot mode ;) and stumbled over the "Do you want to do
any manual network configuration?" question. I think it is obsolete,
useless and we should remove it. One, it is barely ever useful (I
don't remember EVER using it), two, we have a documented way to escape
to a shell at any point (the ! answer).
pardon typos, net over 3G is a bit laggy at 250km/h with a tunnel
every other minute.
ok?
