That would be a decision for release engineers on [EMAIL PROTECTED], I'd think they would react: "How many bytes would that cost on boot floppy & cdrom ?" _If_ some space, maybe they might then debate which installer[s]. If you want to make the proposal, re@ would probably want you to analyse space for installer & all libs on each (& which libs were already on boot flop ). It could be there might only be room for a small extra CLI type installer, perhaps like NETBSD had last I looked, & like FreeBSD had pre [libcurses ?] A blind person asked about installers a month ago & I recall similar Q. years back shortly after the curses thing arrived. Back then the answer was: get a sighted person to install it, or if you only have a simple line to braille type adaptor, NetBSD CLI installer (ending with Net not Free installed). -- Julian Stacey.
