Good idea.

I think I should tell you a story  about last inst. party in Technion:
my friend brought his HD and got Linux installed there ,
then he brought it home and most of things runed , but he wanted his SB to
talk ,but when I came to his home in Ashdod in order to compile the
kernel I realized ,that he has the full packet of comm. stuff,don't have
modem , and DON'T have kernel src !!!
before he went ot the party , he was told to ask it ,and he did ,but the
guys ,who intalled the stuff where so busy ,that they didn't really
noticed.
One more thing : the Swap partition : who the hell needs 64M of it ?!!?
If the guy has 3G HD , then it's ok , but when you put  software on 200M
partition and 64M swap - higzamtem !!!

so my point is : you do a great job ,but put the software the people
really need , and listen to them !!

if I will have time , I will jump there too ( I have some experience with
the installations of linux)

thank you for your patience  if you've got here


Alex.
