Which is better? I think if we want to use apt, than the person who do the
base system install module (Joey? ;) ) will need to set the sources.list
from the infos which given to the retrivers, because it will be needed by
lilo installer module. Or I can use anna, which is more symphatetic. How
can I say to anna "please install a normal package to the base system
in /target, thanks"?
