I'm in favour of most of the Ruby standard library being installed by default, but I'm not a huge fan of the idea of needing to install Tcl + Tk if I'm installing Ruby. Curses, Readline, OpenSSL, GDBM, Zlib, etc. I don't have any problem with since these are very likely to be needed by other things anyway. -- Dafydd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
