I just installed a Linux Athena system.
I very carefully said 
	Custom install: y
	Custom partition: N  (by typing newline)
	Custom X config: y

But it never ran Xconfigurator for me.

I noticed the install of athena-ws complained of no XF86Config,
so SOME of the logic was right.

Perhaps it is significant that ALL the installed files have creation
dates in the future?  The XF86Config that was there but which I wasn't
allowed to configure is dated August 8.

Or am I misunderstanding how custom config works?  
I'm expecting that at some point in the install, stuff goes interactive and
kicks of Xconfigurator for me.  Instead am I just supposed to know to
boot single and run it myself?
