so all you need to do is to do a base install and avoid saying "apt-get install gnome". Nobody is forcing you to choose the Gnome desktop option during install, so your point is moot.
How about putting that crap else where and saying apt-get install some-rubbish. That way you put self in the soup, rather than trying to extract self.
Sorry, that made no sense to me. But if you don't agree with what I said, that's fine; though you can say it more clearly and without getting worked up about it.
Ah. It wasnt directed at You but to the specific developers. I am not shooting the messenger ;-). But I am really all worked up about Mono being a default.
The whole logic of making gnome dependent on mono is thoroughly perverse.
I don't disagree. Let's see if they retain the "Recommends" on Tomboy for long, or whether the ongoing discussion causes a change in stance.
I sure hope so.
