C'mon this is open source project, while yes it would be nice to have
everything work out the box, the tools are there and as a sysadmin you
can make things like this work. Once the issues are identified I'm sure
any patch you create that improves the scripts behaviour to edge cases
would be greatly appreciated.

Personally I was most surprised with the new 1.7 scripts, a great improvement
for which I thank those involved as it installed first time out the box for
me :)

If you don't have the skills required to do the work required, there are ports
of calls but you will likely have to show some recompense for their efforts,
which isn't much to ask is it?

    Regards
    Steve
