Where? See, I demonstrated how exactly wine _is_ in Ubuntu, and you counter by throwing out some vague concepts without a single package name. Wine is in _universe_. That's an Ubuntu repository. Windows media codecs have a package that allows _you_ to download from an another source. It's a pretty huge distinction. > Of course not.

Things like wine aren't omitted from the CD for _policy_ reasons, they're omitted for _space_. -- derek -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
