Seriously, wtf is your problem? Why do you keep challenging the decisions made |
22 |
by release engineering, first on bugs and then on the MLs when you don't get |
23 |
your way? Chris is the head of Release Engineering, which means he gets to make |
24 |
the decisions relevant to the install media. He's been doing it a long time, and |
25 |
there have been very few people that have disagreed with what he does. |

The install CD is a *minimal* install medium. In very few cases (if any) is it |
28 |
absolutely necessary to be able to identify all USB devices attached to your |
29 |
system in order to do an install. If you are one of the few people who find it |
30 |
absolutely necessary to do so, you're absolutely free to use the LiveCD, which |
31 |
does have lsusb, and if it doesn't, it would be a handy thing to have on there, |
32 |
and you should file bug to have it included on the LiveCD *only*. |
