3.0.18 - success!

["John H. Robinson, IV" <jhriv@ucsd.edu>]

i just did a test install of 3.0.18

architecture: i386
flavour: reiserfs
console: serial

there are still some problems with the mounting of non-ext2 partitions
(i have a fix for that), and the /instmnt problem (i have a partial fix
for that)


another minor annoyance, more of a user issue, and a base-config issue,
is this little gem:

in base-config's intro:
If you want to revisit this setup process at a later date, just run
/usr/sbin/base-config.


however, it marks itself for deletion, and will remove itself
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  base-config console-data* console-tools* console-tools-libs* pcmcia-cs* 

and the user will be none the wiser (yes, it does say it in black and
white, right there, but a complete newbie is not going to notice it)
