Another big change that I had not considered is vanilla has many more
drivers as modules than idepci. Hardware such as sound cards are not
supported in idepci. In my eyes that kills the idea, though I really
wanted to see the language chooser . . . all 18 languages . . . on
the first CD. Is enabling frame-buffer an option on the vanilla
flavor? (Herbert, I cc'd you to get your opinion on that, I don't
know all that is involved.)
