Choice is fine, I love choice, but to have a user unpack a stage tarball |
19 |
and find no way at all to handle their networking.... that's just ugly. |
20 |
I mean we could just have dhcpcd in @system and let people figure it |
21 |
out from there (wouldn't be my first choice but it would work) but I |
22 |
would say it is rare enough to not need net that removing all networking |
23 |
options from stage3 is near suicidal. |

25 |
I can do all kinds of amazing things on a system without an MTA. But if |
26 |
I have no net I can't even install net.... |
