This alone is not sufficient reason for producing four packages instead of one. This wastes resources in many places (the Debian package list, the dpkg database, etc.). You must consider whether the benefit is worth the cost. Certainly, the user might only want some of the things in the package. But would it hurt him to have all of it? -- - mdz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
