Do most Alphas come without a CD-ROM drive?  I personally don't use
the INET6 at the moment, so I can't say for sure, but if we dike out
the INET6 support, it can not be downloaded from the drivers.flp as
a module, while the opposite is possible though inconvenient.

I think alpha@ should have the last word here to decide, especially
its re@ part.
