Understood. After sleeping it over, I think that the others could need a bit
rewording. What about:
Web, Mail, News, File Transfer, Access, Wireless, Messanging

Hi Yann, I will try to work through all hints section by section and come up
with a list like the one above as well as tag the entries as appropriate. Do
you have anything in this direction, I could work on?
Updating all packages with menu-files is not possible pre-sarge. updating only
a few will probably kill the optimized menus completly. Would you think it
possible to create an overlay which is used by menu instead of the files
in /usr/lib/menu/? Since all menus carry dependency information, this could
be a seperate package containing all modified menu-files.
Regards, David
