It seems to me that it is exceptionally clear that an X based install isn't ever going to happen. I have to count myself in with the people that don't want it even if 2GB+ disks and 16MB+ memory were the defacto standard minimum - the fact is that it is just too much for such a simple task. Besides, our current color ncurses based install works out *just fine* for what we need to do with it. It needs only minor extensions to do everything we want *and* it looks good. So what's all the hubbub, bub? Sheesh! I shouldn't have put myself back on -hackers; this pointless argument is definately proof of that! -DG
