I think the following would be more appropriate: "Your system level is set to 'newbie', but the package you are attempting to select is rated "complexity-rating", and should not be installed unless you know what you're doing. Do you know what you're doing? [y/N]" That also allows for someone knowledgeable to install something for a newbie, without requiring one to turn off the newbie feature. -- Dwayne C.
