Oh, well. Then, such a disruptive change in the base system warrants a new 
ISO release. I know, I'm beating a dead horse here, but I am tempted to say 
that a current iso is a prerequisite to pushing such a change to master.

Didn't we have ISO creation scripted some time ago? Couldn't there be 
nightlies (at least current userspace with an older kernel)?


Oh, and about the FINAL code: I would have, in the Source Mage spirit, 
preferred a big fat warning after the cast (sorcery has the option to repeat 
those messages at the end, doesn't it?) and a suggested new /etc/inittab as 
configuration file, being merged or not at the Mage's decision.

Trying to silently hack around in configuration files with a sed line is 
evil, IMHO. Other opinions?


Alrighty then,

Thomas
