I was hoping to trim a little fat not break things. I may never need |
34 |
cantor but if I do, I would like it to work without me having to figure |
35 |
out why it is broke. Plus, next time a upgrade comes along, I got |
36 |
issues again. It's going to pull in a update that fails to compile and |
37 |
its going to upset me greatly, much more so than having fortran or |
38 |
whatever installed. |

Maybe you wasn't around during the GREAT hal and xorg mess I ran into. |
41 |
Trust me, it wasn't steam, it was flames. I would like to avoid that. |

I wanted to wring that nerds neck for rendering my keyboard and rat |
43 |
useless. :-@ |
