Gerrit,
this happens each year: every year we once or twice face somebody
bringing his/her really strong arguments for changing the way muLinux
is designed and crippleing the Base Floppy.
You are not right with that 'not' above.
Your proposal means in reallity thyt the Base Floppy will not be such
a powerfull tool anymore after that 'intellicence sharing' process
has been applied.
I do not know about the others but I do NOT WANT to get a muLinux
that fits best for people looking for a Mini-Distro to be installed
on low-ressource machines WHEN this means the Base Floppy seeing
loosing even more of its functionallity!
Bring your arguments for this but - please - do not try to persuade
us by telling nice stories about a team and its leader and so on!
There is a group of add-ons - NOT a team of players!
If the Base Floppy will stop being that extremely usefull tool that
it is today you will loose many the 'hard core users' who want to
use muLinux as a TOOL - not as an easy to install Mini-Distri for
their 486 machines.
You further say:

That is ONE way you can see it.
Another way is that you see it being a great 1-disk Linux tool
with the *option* to be enhanced by using the add-ons.
I don't like the idea of this *option* having converted into a *must*.

You are just kidding here?
