+The installer would have to detect that it was a mount-point on install

+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.

+
+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,
