Thinking about it, you are correct. But moving logger and cron |
| 15 |
installation to the "packages install" phase will require fairly |
| 16 |
significant changes to our docs, and I don't know if it is wise to make |
| 17 |
those changes so late. |

But if we could, then yes, we could put all the loggers and crons on |
| 20 |
CD2, and you could install 2004.0 without having to compile anything |
| 21 |
from source except the kernel, just like 1.4. |
