But as far as the major components that could be said to constitute ``subsystems'', I think lots of folks agree with you. Lots of folks are not stepping forward to do the work, though. :-) That's why many of us who agree with you keep quiet -- 'cause we're not prepared to do the work ourselves. Actually, I've spent some time thinking about a new installer, something with lots of next and back buttons and finer control over what's installed. Just thinking about it gives me a head-ache, though. I'll be very impressed at the person or group of people who actually manage to come up with something. :-) Ciao, Sheldon.
