I think it would be really great to see something like this becoming an official `port'. This way, we don't need to bloat the base system with it, but yet would have a fine method to provide a good newuser template. The only concern i would have with this approach is that this port should only depend from other ports that are available in package form on the CD-ROM (so people without Internet access will be able to use it). I haven't looked whether this applies to the stuff presented by Jamie (though i'd assume it). What i imagine is that this should be available in package form itself, maybe with an installation script that will be run during the package installation. Anybody feeling tempted by such a project? -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
