Aaarrrggghhhhhhh This myth has persisted for too long. You *cannot* have "easy install" on the PC compatible line -- it is a piece of shit (a cheap piece of shit, which is why I have two on my desk, but a piece of shit regardless). It is basically spare parts smashed together without thought or logic, created in the backroom of some two-bit company making its (laughingly small) margins off of slamming those parts together and getting them to more or less work together. To create an installer that reliably works across the wide range of crap that's out there today would take nothing short of a miracle. Windows hasn't done it, and neither will any GNU/Linux distribution. I am quite certain that installation on known hardware (that means, from a reliable hardware company like Sun Microsystems or Apple Computers) can be done via a hassle free installer. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
