Only if the installer actually supports installing from extras as well, otherwise an upgrade may be impossible, or leave the system in a broken state. At which point I really fail to see the point of extras: either it's part of the distro, or it isn't. Labeling it as extras just because it's in a separate CD is useful, because then people can choose which CDs to download and burn upfront, but it serves no other purpose. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org}
