Ahhhh, wouldn't that be nice.

One additional feature that might be useful is a command
line switch that allows a search through the package list
that puts out a list of matches.

Think of it as a grep through setup.ini

On the other hand, once you've installed the base system
it's pretty easy to write a script that does the same thing.

And now I'm wandering off topic. Start a new thread for replies
please.
