Oddly enough, I managed to make the 4.0 install (my first RH) orders of
magnitude harder than my first-ever Slackware install by the seat of my 
pants.  Along the way, I noticed a few things that could be enhanced

-	More clearly marked exits from the installer.
	More of them and more clear.  I hate to say it, but Slackware
	has a bit of an edge here, imho.

-	More user discretion.  Maybe I don't want to prepare swap
	every time I run the installer.  Let me decide.  Argue with me,
	but let me decide.  BTW, the message in the upper right during
	swap setup reads, "Setup up swap space".

-	The configurators in the Control Panel would benefit from a
	more consistent GUI.  The printer and filesystem configurators
	don't have exit/quit/cancel buttons.  Grouping is great, though,
	even if they're not 100% consistent.

Thanks,
Kyle
