Personally, I find the slackware installation scripts annoying... I
feel as if I am reading WIRED. Color is good when used properly, but
lets make sure that nobody gets carried away Turner-izing things when
they are readable as-is. And also make sure that those of us using
terminals that aren't color-capable still can use them well...
