OK. > doing this will most likely give you a system that lacks all the > functionality you expect. Interesting, *you* say that. 'puredata' recommends 'gem'. I certainly do not expect to get Gem when installing Pure Data. In all cases I remember, I was rather annoyed by stuff that got installed unexpectedly. But you're probably right, in that - for instance - game graphics are only recommended by the game package, because it technically can run without the image data, but you most likely want to install it as well for the expected experience. So often, though, it appeared to me that 'recommends' somewhat followed the taste of the maintainer and was not concise. > it is *really* meant for experts only!!!
