I can understand that, but what I am missing is the possibility to have a choice of installed packages. When Mdk has decided to decrease KDE packages and install Gnome stuff, then I as a user should have a nice button to press that says all KDE stuff. If they want to give a Mdk feel to the installation, fine it is their product. But I think that it stinks when other Linux products are excluded as a choice. regards guran -- Slackware Linux Current 9.1 kernel-2.4.22 Only in a society that has 'a priori' defined what is the truth can the result of the evolution of life be defined false.
