I'd suggest 1.1.x.  I actually changed it to this in later versions of
the non-GUI installer.  It used to be 1.1.0 and that caused problems
so I changed it to 1.1.x.

Hopefully the number of people who think that 'x' denotes something
besides a place-holder will be less than the number of people who
think that 1.1 != 1.1.4.
