Fair point! I was certainly a bit unfair in lashing out because as you say it was only a few days ago I posted my requests. Sorry guys - I hope Ryan will still consider my suggestions for the next release! > I for one agree that there are some tools that would be "nice to have" > on Finnix, but overall it's more important to have *Finnix* than for > it to include all the packages someone wants to see. I believe the > scripts to remaster Finnix are included, correct? Aha! I didn't know about these! Indeed thats great news and yes I shall give them a try (if I can find 'em)! > So how about taking > 103, adding your packages, and posting those ISOs? I will indeed be trying to make a customised finnix and may very well share the results as I've done the same for sysrcd already - I have a few very handy custom scripts (and packages, obviously) I'd like to add in. Still, everyone benefits from a better (if you agree being more comprehensive without going OTT = 'better') default package selection - we don't need yet another distro when Ryan can just tweak his to suit more use cases very easily. The few packages I did request would add very little in terms of .iso space/ bandwidth etc. but would add much value. Its totally Ryan's decision which of those to include but I'd at least like to know why any of those won't be included in 104 if all the non-X packages I suggested don't get approved by him for inclusion. Thanks Peter! Dan _______________________________________________ finnix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.colobox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/finnix
