Subject: Re: Fwd: Bug script install slackware

Hello,

While I'm sure there are a number of bugs in the crufty old installer 
scripts, I'll need to know how there's a security impact before 
notifying everyone that the sky has fallen.  I'd also like to note that 
if running the installer requires physical access to the machine I'm 
liable to consider security to already be non-existent at that time.

Please clarify what is wrong with examples of how to reproduce the 
issue, and I'll look into it.

Thanks.
