this reminds me that i would like to work on the stage2, (adding sshd and 
passwd for remotely continuing a rescue in rescue mode), is this mageia-dev 
team that does this? is there any info on that? perhaps installing the rescue 
mode on install is also a good thing?

perhaps keeping this in mind when setting up that machine?
