Actually, taking this further off-topic, how do you construe the choice of a default as shoving something down your throat? There is a particular purpose in simplifying the installer to the state where it asks the minimum number of questions, which means that you must have defaults. It's default what MTA, browser, collection of solitaire games and kernel is installed. Are they shoving a particular kernel version down your throat too? Are you prevented from changing things after the install? Are you prevented from installing Kubuntu? Are you prevented from compiling random progs from source? Why aren't you using Ruby on Rails?^H^H^H^H^H^A^K :-) It's fun to complain about things that you don't happen to like. Doesn't make them true though. -jim, using Ubuntu with the Ion3 window manager.
