we preselect it here so that it got installed early:
<A HREF="http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/drakx/trunk/perl-install/install/any.pm?revision=3532&view=markup">http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/drakx/trunk/perl-install/install/any.pm?revision=3532&view=markup</A>
because else it'll be automatically pulled later, adding a one package (or more)
wait later:
<A HREF="http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/drakx/trunk/perl-install/bootloader.pm?revision=3581&view=markup">http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/drakx/trunk/perl-install/bootloader.pm?revision=3581&view=markup</A>
just look mageia-gfxboot-theme
Of course, that's OK for 99% of our users but for those manually
selecting text lilo.
That's a trade off: enforcing waiting for packages installation after all
the other package installation so that a couple users can not have
the bootsplash installed and select lilo or having a couple users
unhappy
BWe could not preselect

we configure shorewall, not iptables.

</I>
In the old days we let poeple choose the security level early then we
automatically install & set up the firewall accordingly.
Later the security choice was moved to the summary and security level
number was reduced from to 3 (see msec or security::level)
But since the default security level is 1 ("standard"), we automatically
install the firewall anyway.
For years.
