I think the problem is that it won't install without the edit of "lignux"
to "linux". However, I'm not for rubbing out the "GNU" part, just for making
the software install without being forced to change the name of the entire
system (which is what Richard intended).

If Richard really wanted us to change the name of the system, he should
have discussed it with the people involved. To make this change unilaterally
without consulting us is a sign of his disrespect, isn't it? We'd still be
part of the GNU project if it were not for other things like this.
