Okay, that indeed worked. It would allow one to redefine the options,
but the selection is certainly not intuitive. More than likely I managed
to do something that was not meant to happen :)
I checked, this is an issue not covered in Sarge installation manual.
(Well, in theory nobody should need to try what I did.) As long as the
second stage of installer fires up normally, there are no problems. I
certainly have to tip my hat to you folks. This new installer is a
marvelous piece of work.
Sorry to have bothered you, and thanks for your time and effort.
