Actually there are depends. The pkgs still have to get installed in a
certain order since some of them depend on others to operate. But I see your
point there.
I think it's a good idea to maybe have the choice to keep or loose the
selections at exit, or startup, and have an option to select the recomended
pkgs at any time.
Maybe create another directory called .../binary-i386/req'd-1.2 or 1.3 etc...
so it's possible to use a lesser, compatable, install disk set but select the
req'd directory of the version you want to install.
Have a good one.
