561	Annoying defaults installing WPI archive	yoda	David Azarewicz	"Installer now seems to override any users changed options.
That is a very bad idea, as this can cause problems.

Examples:

ACPI.CFG is overwritten
Default is ""LID=suspend""
On my laptop this means, that that the system is dead, as
suspend/resume doesn't work (and never will).
At least ""LID=none would be fail-safe for all systems;
but again, it is a bad idea to override users choice.

Config.sys is overwritten.
Found 1 system now, where suspend/resume actually works;
but only when /VBE is used. If I install a new version, that
will get removed, and the system will be useless after resume.
Bad idea again to override users defaults.

I can foresee same issue on my servers, that require /VW
due to SCSI drivers. If that /VW gets removed, the server
can't boot - an unacceptable thing to happen for a remote
update.

We really need to get the installer to be more fail-safe
and or intelligent, than it currently is.
