Re: More comments resulting from trial and error during the upgrade to 14.3

Answer to self, which might help the documentation team:

echo 'linprocfs /proc linprocfs rw 0 0' >> /etc/fstab

# echo 'proc /proc procfs rw 0 0' >> /etc/fstab

Seems to help in getting KDE6 + plasma working. More tests pending, I
have ceased to suffer the 'sudden session exits'.

Git the inspiration from

A simple remedy for that would be to have a broader dialog there, which should not be unreasonable even on 80x25 displays...
