Knoppix includes minicom. It's a useful tool for connecting to routers and other such devices through your workstations serial port.
It's a small program and it depends on only 2 libraries. Minimal system impact. I don't see any reason NOT to include it. You say that "most people don't need it". How did you come to that conclusion? On 3/7/07, Andrew Donnellan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I really don't think minicom should be standard - most people don't need it, I have never used it. -- Andrew Donnellan ajdlinuxATgmailDOTcom (primary) ajdlinuxATexemailDOTcomDOTau (secure) http://andrewdonnellan.com http://ajdlinux.wordpress.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] hkp://subkeys.pgp.net 0x5D4C0C58 http://linux.org.au http://debian.org Get free rewards - http://ezyrewards.com/?id=23484 Spammers only === [EMAIL PROTECTED] ===
