I, for one, would rather see tcsh installed instead of csh, and I'd also rather have perl5 installed as the default perl, and only additionally install perl4 on the rare machine where there is some arcane script that really only runs under perl4. While I have no need for xten now, I might later, and I'd rather install it later. I can also see the need for keeping a "system profile" somewhere, so that site-wide and even machine-specific package can be stored so that a re-install can be performed with minimal interaction. Now to wait and see how soon before LDAP becomes more generally useful. H
