I could put a single .tgz together for this. Just 'pkg_add mutt' to an OpenBSD base system. Heck, I could even setup the mail and ppp for EFN defaults. As well as basic pf. A single floppy, an ~20MB tarball. 10 minute install and setup. But how many people really just want text based email and www? And, of course, which *nix text editor is going to be "easy" for converts? I like mg (formerly known as 'micro GNU Emacs', until RMS said, "That's not GNU software"), maybe nano would be easier? -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
