Comment 1 for bug 426739

Given the large number of distributions which are effected by this bug and the audience which is most effected (New users who may be put-off the Linux experience by something which "Just does not work") I would suggest that this bug be elevated in importance.

A further suggestion is that it could be simply mitigated through providing some prominent text (in the installer GUI) to alert the user that if they continue without changing things, they will have an unusable installation! Yes! I know that no one actually reads that stuff ;-) but it would be a step in the right direction until a 'real' solution was put in place.

THanks.
