That is incorrect.  I select the Timezone, optimize my architecture, and
when I select "Done" the machine reboots and my OLD boot loader comes up
with my OLD settings, not able to boot into the new setup to do anything. 
There is apparently a workaround (there's always boot floppies with GRUB)
or finding some way to rerun LILO from the Shell with the correct
settings, but why did we change it to this way?  What do we gain from this
new method?

Can we get the 0.5.1 ISO back up on http://download.sourcemage.org?  I
have a few friends that I'd like to start setting up on SMGL, but the ISO
is no longer there.  I could host it for them, but my bandwidth isn't that
great.
