I'd say that the whole install/setup routine for Arachne needs work --
but that's not to say that what we have now isn't already an impressive
accomplishment.  And, yes, LSPPP does seem to be the best default 
choice.  I can't say for sure, since it's been a while since
I ran 'arachne -s' for an earlier version, but it seems to me that
Glenn has improved things in 175 -- better explanations and 
descriptions in the graphical setup screens.
