Yes, the install I had to do in amsterdam, translating dutch to english
and back is the one I was concerned abot.




Maybe sysinstall could be collecting entropy during the installation
and use that for an initial seed if the timeout happens? It wouldn't
be perfect, but it'd be better than killing ssh.


Or use my idea of collecting 5 to 10 packets using tcpdump!
