All that would happen would be that ppl will see `oh, no DHCP support on install. Better go with that linux dist which supports it' and we lose support. *shrug* Keeping people happy is the name of the game. I think you fail to understand that concept. If people need DHCP to install, then that becomes a requirement. Its not a cost issue. Its a `oh, I want to do this tonite, I have time. What? I need to wait for a CD to be shipped?!?!? **** that, I'll go install something which *SUPPORTS* *MY* *NEEDS*' Please, unless you have something constructive to contribute to this discussion, I suggest you drop it before you look like you are irritated because fortran is still in the base tree and you now have a bee in your bonnet. Instead of being an obstruction to progress, I suggest you find ways to contribute to the furthering of your goals. e.g. working with the people developing the new integrated packaging system which would make the distinction between `distribution' and `package' blurred.
