Well personnaly i don't want anything :)
but i administer computer for people.
for example and for whatever bad reasons some want to use mozilla 1.4
some 1.5 and other 1.6 on their machine.
then i have to find a way to install a specific version.

Well i don't know if i understand well. I just found a way to do it.

Well it would be a nice feature :)

I really would prefer use yum over apt as:
-it seems really lighter than apt
-as it s written in python i guess it would be more integrated in the
installation process above all with the kickstart system.

thanks for help
