The 'can't do it in = one release' is a red herring. The current package system is by no means a= s good as sysinstall was before it was replaced. The new one is much bette= r and deserves a shot of 'replace in one' if it proves to be ready. Anythi= ng contrary to that is just obstructionism. >=20 > I don't agree.
