I OTOH find kudzu *extremly* useful and nice - but that might be related
to my taking my harddisk (removable frame) always with me and inserting
it in any computer I need to check. I think for the normal user kudzu
isn't often used, so if I need it I can install/configure it afterwards,
but this should be covered in the README or the Release-Notes. That
brings up another topic: Documentation. We should document *any* change
we do to systems installed our way compared to the official Red Hat
Linux way and make this easily available.

Agreed.

None that I can think of just now, but I'll have to do a base install
first to see what actually ends up there...
