Hi, partially agreed... Yet I think we can and should
keep several good compilers in the distro. The confusing
points of the distro are more that you have to dig through
long lists of packets and stuff. It would be nice to have
an option like "install everything which works without
network connection during/after install, while I go away
and have a cup of tea", for example :-)...

Afterwards you can still use the package manager to add
more packages from the cdrom or install the networking
or usb stuff or remove packages again. Another nice
option would be "install a full base system with all
the usual DOS stuff and show me the list of all other
possible packages, but preselect none for installation,
just add the extras which I manually select".

Just some ideas. I would have to work out the details if
somebody wants to add such options to the installer.
