It's been a long time since I did a install but I was thinking the same |
| 44 |
as you. For us users, it doesn't need to be set at all from what I |
| 45 |
recall. When I saw the flag, it rang a bell, just lightly, and that was |
| 46 |
what made me curious about it. The default seems to be off and it is |
| 47 |
off here. |
