If there's a way of making multi CD installs work, then I'm all for it.
One thing: Do people think it's important to keep the possibility of doing a
one CD install, and still ending up with a useful system ?
Useful as in boots, yes! But you get that
the second one.
(I also have another change which installs packages in order of priority,
which is in my local tree, but unfortunately I coded too long after freeze for
it to make it in. If people want it I'm happy to upload this too, though.)
Thanks,
Andy

A PreDepends will do nothing to assure the safety of an already installed

it? Where's the canonical place for this sort of thing now?). Then post
your changes here, and interested people can download it themselves.

Without having looked at the source, I do know that it uses a fair few

I'm using libdl, to allow me to dynamically add and remove modules as I

I don't know much about UIs in general, but I'd be more than happy to

Please check out my Giggle

post to asking whether or not this could be the problem, I could have
replied simply that it wasn't.
But I found the second half of your post offensive, and totally
unnecessary. If you still have a problem with this, please respond by

scripts which require bash use it explicitly? Otherwise, I'm hanging onto
the bug reports, and I can make a list of the things which have come up,
but since I don't know anything about it that's probably not the best
