Well, what do you know, you're right.  Somebody needs to update the=20
Handbook, then, because this is not listed in there anywhere.  I had to=20
ddig around in the Release Notes for 5.4 to find any mention of this, and=20
it wasn't too well highlighted in there.

Even a note in the FTP directory would have helped.

=20
have to download a 200 MB ISO instead of a 600 MB one, especially since I=20
don't use packages for anything.
