Yes it would take a lot more time to say NO than YES when asked if you
want to install things. If you sell SCO talk about it, but don't make up
problems with Dell to use as examples of why SCO is great.
Actually SLS also unbundles the text processing, compilers, and X.
Would that there were 18 pounds (or onces or even grams) of docs for
