The installer would have to detect that it was a mount-point on install
and remember the setting.

I never clicked either of the buttons.  I don't have a /proc/snd/
folder, but I do have /proc/asound/cards.  It does show two cards.  So
would the two buttons be normal behavior?  I'm just asking because I
don't think I got two Ethernet buttons.

/proc/asound/cards:
 0 [Generic        ]: HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic
                      HD-Audio Generic at 0xfeb44000 irq 41
 1 [SB             ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
                      HDA ATI SB at 0xfeb40000 irq 16

Does this only happen when setting security to server?  I have 2 other
Mageia 1 machines, not set to security server, and I've never had to do
this for them.  hosts.allow has no entries in either of the machines.

I don't remember seeing a post install message about hosts.allow, but I
might just have missed it.  Maybe we should add a message, if there
isn't one already.

Okay.  I'll go look for that discussion.  Maybe we should add
radeon.modeset=0 to kernel command lines automatically if the firmware
isn't detected.

Thank you,
