I agree with this, certainly. For example, Flow should not go in the image - because _no_ network stuff should be in the image ab initio. Yes, I know we need some network stuff to allow practical use of SM etc, but _the base image_ should have none of this. There is, however, a very good argument for building and providing a 'typical' image with all the usual development tools preinstalled and probably for a newbie/demo image with lots of pleasing tchotchkes and explicatory stuff. tim -- Tim Rowledge, [email protected], http://sumeru.stanford.edu/tim Strange OpCodes: SHUTDOWN: (See EFB)
