Currently, it is possible to end up with a b0rked machine (say, because the openafs modules aren't available for a new kernel version) via the PXE installer. This is bad. Thankfully, the difference is noticeable enough that it's an inconvenience as opposed to a major problem (ie: the greeter is missing, the ability to log in is missing, etc).

However, users who attempt to install Debathena should either end up with Debathena or with a message saying "Sorry, try again later."

We should make the installer more foolproof.

When choosing option "2" from the PXE installer (for regular debathena installs), it first prompts you for an IP address, and then installs a machine that's configured to boot with DHCP. This results in the machine thinking it is NIC.MIT.EDU, among other oddities.

During the partitioning phase, the installer stops with: "You entered "" which was not recognized as a valid size". It then prompts for the amount of volume group to use for guided partitioning, defaulting to 159.8GB. If you answer yes, the install proceeds.
