Sorry if you feel that I mislead you by quoting narrowly. I fail to recognize how your larger quote changes my point of mine, however. Indeed Debian policy do not _require_ recommendations. They do however recommend to install them except in unusual installations. Turning off recommendations is saying "this system is unusual in all possible ways" which I insist is wrong and bad advice! - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
