a crackpot idea i had

[dep]

first -- jeez! there's a multitude of ideas here, all of them good. i 
still wonder what it would take to adapt what we already have from 
2.4, how copying the whole cd to a directory, updating the rpms 
(which, okay, would be a hell of a job), burning it back to cd, and 
running it, could be made to work.

second, and this *isn't* an advertisement; do not feel in any way 
obligated to go here no matter how attractive i might make it seem; 
my take on the whole sorry mess of distributions today is here:

i really do think that distributions are too much interested in the 
next quarter, and not interested enough in what brung 'em to the 
dance in the first place.
