Jonathan Stone sez:
/*
* hi all,
[problems with RC_CONFIGURED]
*
* The relevant string is in src/distrib/utils/sysinst/msg.mi.eng.
* Which do we collectively think is best, of
*
* set rc_configured ...
* set the variable rc_configured ..
* set RC_CONFIGURED ...
* set `rc_configured' ...
*
* or other options, if there's a better one. And should it be
I'd say:
"Set the variable `rc_configured' to `true' via the line
rc_configured=true
"
This would leave no doubt as to its status.

Of course, we could always include a commented line:
#rc_configured=true
and give instructions to decomment that line. Or is that what we're
doing now?
