Defaulting to never bail out is causing problems in a bunch of firewalling frontends which has been reported multiple times to both debian and ubuntu (and possibly others I don't know about), and looping forever causes the bootup to never finish. Thats my reason for advocating not selecting the "loop forever" as the default choice. -- Regards, Andreas Henriksson
