<OT> installation

[m.w.Chang]

Of one thing that I liked about DOS:

There were little dependence between products. SO you can always 
add/remove packages without breaking others. YOu always knew where your 
data and the program (games, dbase, wordstar, wordperfect, lotus, 
harvard graphics, ...) were (well, at least in my PC).

Both linux and the new Window$ broke this nice feature.
One basically need to panic whenever you want to remove something from 
these multi-tasking, dyanmic binding system, expecting something to break.
