Ah, sorry, -current /etc/services file becomes so large
so I replaced it with the shrinked installer version to avoid
/var overflow, but it didn't have login and telnet entries.

Please use 20081008 version instead. It has misc other fixes,
including MI kernel bugs.

Yeah, good to hear :-)

Now I'm working on 4.0.1 restorecd (with some patches for 2700
and multi-function PCI devices), but now I wonder if we should
merge the traditional restorecd and the the "rescue" one which
provides only remote login access.

Both CD could have almost the same contents and the only
difference is invoking the installation script or not.

Is it worth if the installation script will be started by
paneld menu, or something else?  I'm afraid ordinary users
won't bother to login to invoke the install script.
