Yo! Having some rescue tools available in the installer medium is nice, but I usually prefer to use some full live CD system (Knoppix in my case) for the more involved rescue operations. (Especially since I usually download the businesscard ISO to install - and limiting what's being shipped is really the idea behind that ISO...) That said, many of your points are still valid. I'm not involved in the installer, but at least > 2. Netinstall image needs a ping > 3. Netinstall's ifconfig needs to set MAC address are probably trivial to implement and don't cost much space. > 7. There needs to be a command to copy all data I've wished for full acl support in tar for a long time... At least rsync is now getting it. (OT for this thread. Still: anybody knows an archiver that properly handles POSIX acls?) chers -- vbi -- Protect your privacy - encrypt your email: http://fortytwo.ch/gpg/intro
