Maybe we need a 3rd split of the install cd - minimal, full and games? This is not about cribbing a few bytes from /nano/vi/vim, but about a return to the older philosophy of a dedicated kickstart, download (usually ahead of time), the stage tarball and go, instead of the everything on cd it has become. Something that would fit on a 64m pendrive would be cool. BillK On Thu, 2003-08-21 at 04:01, Daniel Armyr wrote: > > use.
