Here? Because I use gentoo, which comes with only a very basic "stage tarball", enough to configure USE flags and rebuild/reinstall the original tarball packages and then build/install anything else I want. "Anything else I want" could be the kde-meta package, which would install nearly all of kde, or the individual packages I want, which pull in deps based on required deps and optional USE flag settings, making for a much leaner system. Thus, there basically *IS* no default, here. I specify what I want and build and install it, creating my own defaults in the process! =:^) On debian? That'd be a distro policy. You'd need to ask them, but I guess they figure enough folks won't need/use it that they prefer to let people decide for themselves. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
