IPv6

Just a quick idea.
It would probably be useful to include a global 'disable/enable IPv6' 
option in the installer.
Having IPv6 enabled causes Mozilla DNS lookups to take ages in some areas 
- depends on DNS servers involved (basically it has to wait for IPv6 
resolution to timeout).
This can be achieved by 'alias net-pf-10 off' in /etc/modprobe.conf or by 
physically removing the IPv6 addresses from the interfaces (ip addr del 
::1/128 dev lo; ip addr del <something> dev eth0;)

Comments?

Cheers,
MaZe.
