this is completely useless when you are installing from a harrdrive
partition. worse yet, it is misleading. the ``/instmnt'' is placed on
the selection, with a note that says that it is not even required. very
few hard drive partitions would have such a directory, and when you
simply hit return, it comes up with with the same screen, but the entry removed.
worse yet, if you hit tab to the <...> an error, and feeds you right back to
the dialog box, with the same (wrong!) default.
i'm right now leaning towards removing that check altogether, and giving
the user a blank entry line
however, there might be a legitimate reason for that default _to_ be
there (say when installing from cdrom, or nfs, or whathave you) i simply
do not know.
if no one can say ``yes! this is important!'' i will remove it.
