My complaint is that you can't choose individual products . They all seem
to come as units - even using custom. I have no problems with xfs using
7.0. But I miss being able to add other products such as daemons
individually. This packaging seems to be designed more for
newbies. Or is the iso image released on 1/12 just a late beta? At this
point we are trying two production machines (one an upgrade and the other a
new install) . Msec seems to shut down a few services including the ability
to telnet into a box. I fixed my earlier problem by going into drakconf and
setting security to low. However the upgrade box - didn't install drakconf.
