Cooker #1: I use kmail but not knode, so why can't we do like SuSE and allow me to install kmail and not knode and all the other stuff that comes in kdenetwork that I don't need. Cooker #2: But it makes it so much easier to manage KDE packaging to just keep it all together, and disk space is cheap now anyway, so that shouldn't be an issue. Cooker #1: But I don't like having stuff installed I don't use even though I have the disk space. And what about the users on dial-up? Why should we make them download all of kdenetwork when all they need is kmail. Cooker #2: But it is crazy to make a zillion KDE packages. How will people know what they nedd? etc., etc. Looks like the people in favor of splitting have finally won this argument. -- /g "Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read" -Groucho Marx
