Users that are made members of a group "medicine" are presented with additional menus. Packages are grouped and preselected such that one would be able to say "install debian-med metapackages" instead of having to say "install care2x, install oio, install gnumed".

It enhances. > Who is taking advantage of this tailoring? Debian users. > What result does Debian-Med meet achieve that is lacking in Debian? "Themed" installation of packages/functionality. BTW, I am not the maintainer. Why not ask a) on the debian-med list, b) Andreas Tille directly ? Karsten -- GPG key ID E4071346 @ wwwkeys.pgp.net E167 67FD A291 2BEA 73BD 4537 78B9 A9F9 E407 1346
