Note that the packages are installed, but they do not run unless you need them. "tasks" != "processes" in this discussion. At worst, it's 1 MB or so of disk space. Having said that, separate tasks for dialup, ISDN dialup, DSL (pppoe), and cable modem would be nice, but not really essential. $SHOVELWARE_DISTRO_OF_THE_WEEK probably doesn't even make the dialup task optional :-) Chris, who leaves it to your imagination who $SHOVELWARE_DISTRO_OF_THE_WEEK is -- Chris Lawrence <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://www.lordsutch.com/chris/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
