do you also check for space while choosing?  RH has this annoying trick,
when you painfully choose all the packages you want/don't want, then it
sits there, says you need 5 more Megs of space, and you have to redo all
the selections again!

Nope. That'd be too much of a change to the 6.0 installer for me to tackle
right now. (The original code is _really_ crufty.) I'll look at this once I
start on the next generation.


the world conquering conspiracy :)  As for perl/python, well, I like
having more than one way of doing things...  the quick and dirty
solution, and the incredibly elegant one... and about 50 in between.

The python folks would probably say that python makes it quick and easy to
always do the incredibly elegant one.
