I respect your input, however I have to disagree. This problem happened
today, just a few hours ago. The problem with the CD having this problem by
default was from a CD I burned a few weeks ago, and I had my current install
since. This problem happened today after this package was updated. I didn't
update my menu.lst until after this bug manifested itself again.
