And we are looking at methods to streamline that in the future. One
of the side-effects of a generic mechanism is that you don't get some
of the sharing benefits between scripts.

I don't think anyone is disputing that extra features have been added
and that the baseline has moved up. The documentation also reflects this.
There are many extra features, some of which you don't want, but lots of
people value.

And I happen to know that you have the skills to create a custom boot 
install floppy which installs only the bits you need :-)

Many of our test lab boxes are P133 machines with 64MB RAM - comparatively
stone-age machines. They are slow, but usable.
