I would also like to add that some of us can't download like others. I, |
26 |
for example, am on dial-up and a sucky one at that. I have to order |
27 |
most everything because it would take me a week or longer to download |
28 |
about any CD. I don't even want to think if I had to boot from the 2007 |
29 |
CD and install from scratch. Typing in the commands, no problem at |
30 |
all. Waiting to download all the packages, HUGE problem. |

I love options and Gentoo has a lot of them. I would also like to have |
33 |
options available just in case the unthinkable happens. I would most |
34 |
likely install Mandrake, old version that I still have, and then install |
35 |
Gentoo from there. |

|
37 |
Anyone gave this any thought? There are still a LOT of dial-up users |
38 |
out here. People seem to forget that, especially the website with all |
39 |
the huge pages. My Space comes to mind on that. |

|
41 |
Just a thought. |
