I'm maybe a little late but I must agree with most of what you've said. The
question is "do we really want to address the same users as Linux ?", "do
we want to get all the DOS wheenies that just want ot run Linux (or *BSD)
just because it a kind of fashion" ?
I may seem pretty hard on these users but the fact that the intended audience
(sp ?) was not the same for *BSD and Linux (at the beginning) has always been
a strong point for me (even if I'm a forever-BSD-addict).
A good, robust (even with character based menus fro things like network
setup and such) is fine. Having a slackware-like, with X11 and all that
just to get more DOS users is not that needed IMO.
Shoot away :-)
