I didn't pick anything, I simply listed the apps that appear as dependencies in Balcaen John's first post of this thread and asked if he meant dropping those. See here if you missed the earlier emails: http://mageia.linuxtech.net/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=2540 > The point is, other major distros have already gone through the > halsectomy phase, which means we have very rich resources to draw on. True, but again IMHO this is a major structural change, which AFAIK isn't supposed to happen until after Mageia 1 has been released. -- Mageia ML Forum Gateway: http://mageia.linuxtech.net/forum/
