i would like to point out two things:
1. the script advises the user to reboot by typing "shutdown -r now", and
has done for several versions.
2. the script runs "sync ; sync ; sync" after everything has been installed.
3. (ok, i can't count :-) check the latest version of the script.
current version is 0.10. i've got a couple of changes to make, so
i will probably release 0.11 tonight after i get home from work.
