IMHO it is perfectly fair for a package that a general concensus of linux users feel is an 'important' to get special privlages, like being inserted in the middle of a freeze. I realize that we are actualy late late into a freeze, and that is part of it. But i would like to see something like gnome included on the CD's. Maybee would could have a dists/unsupported, which has upgrades like helix gnome 1.2, and definatly put it on the 2nd or 3rd disc(whatever the last one is). I just think it would be nice if we did release with this stuff. </ramble> > > Mike. > -- > Our vision is to speed up time, eventually eliminating it.
