Synopsis: apache no longer installed by default by sysinstall

State-Changed-From-To: open-closed
State-Changed-By: jkh
State-Changed-When: Sat Jan 3 22:45:12 PST 1998
State-Changed-Why: 
There are good reasons for this:

1. It was getting harder and harder to keep apache and sysinstall in
   sync.  Not only was the name of the package changing all the time
   (which had to be hardcoded into sysinstall) but the layout of the
   config files was also a moving target.  I got sick of trying to
   maintain this dependency.

2. This should never have gone into sysinstall in the first place
   as having sysinstall know intimate details of various package
   installations is about as wrong as it gets.  The Apache package
   merely needs to grow some self-configuration smarts so that when
   you either add it from sysinstall *or later on*, it brings up the
   same basic config dialogs that sysinstall used to.  This isn't done
   yet, but it's the way to go.
