What is wrong with having foo=bar stored, it sounds better than having foo
in one file and bar in another. Or am I missing something here?

I agree they should be put in /mnt, but wouldn't that involve changing the
setup disk, and hence cause problems for re-installs? And does your CD
actually work, I keep getting the message kernal lack CD-ROM support when I
try and set it up.
