as much as i'd love to love it, i can't take any tool seriously that,
get this, can't install on partition larger than 2gb. true story. we
tried, it died, we called, they said "we'll look into it", they
called, they said "yup, its a bug in the installer", we said
"and....?", they said "repartition your hard drive", we said "fuck
you, idiot.".

end of story.

so, now two versions later, the bug is still there and we can't even
look at it. fuck that. how's that for technology that helps _people_?
