    I hope that this selection will replace the current DISCONTIGMEM prompts
    in the individual architectures. That way, you won't get a net increase
    in the number of prompts. However, I do realize that architectures
    without DISCONTIG see a new, relatively useless menu/prompt.

    Is there a way to hide an entire "choice" menu? If there is, we can
    certainly hide it when there's only one possible choice.
