DSL minimized was Re: Political Blather

 Ethereal would not be something an average user needs right off the
bat.  I just looked and ethereal is not avail. for DSL.  If you need it
on a rescue disk, you can build a .dsl, .uci, or .unc pkg and place it
on a customized DSL CD so that it loads on boot.  You can also submit
the pkg to the group for hosting at the mirrors so that everyone else
can use it.
