What's wrong with basic-desktop being x-window-system-core plus a WM plus xterm? As I said, x-window-system contains things which are far away from being "basic". If we force it to be on CD #1, lots of very popular packages will end up being in CD #2. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
