OTOH if you have emacs you don't need anything else (except the kernel,
but they are working on it ;=D), so just leave these other
mail/ftp/www/news clients out of RULE... ;-))
Of course this is all a matter of taste. I just want to point out that
leaving emacs complete might not be bad at all. The emacs clients are
quite good - if you like the way emacs works, of course... ;-))
Idea to make the choices easier: If emacs is chosen to be installed, the
installer should ask the user if (s)he wants to leave emacs complete or
what to delete. I prefer having the choice instead of having to find out
there's something missing I expected to be there and not knowing how to
get it back! Oh, and what will happen with this crippled-down emacs if I
try to uninstall or upgrade it?
This just brought up another thought: Can we get (not now, but on the
long term) have something like kickstart for slinky to automate
installs?
Best egards,
