Hi,
I would like your opinion about moving links to core/support as suggested in FS#9432 in order to have a CLI browser available on the ISO. From the comments on the FR, some users needs to access a web page to enable their internet connection. It will also allow them to search the web/wiki for installation help. BTW, the FR got 9 votes since being submitted last Friday so it seem to be a popular request.
I think that it's a reasonable request as we already supply other network tools like openssh, iptables and netkit-telnet in core. Plus, we don't supply info pages so they need a browser to get that information on the web.
I say go for it - sounds like a great idea.
Huge +1 from me- I remember that I had to do a full install so I could get to a text mode web browser to activate my internet connection (register my MAC address), and then wiped the whole system so I could do a fresh up-to-date FTP install. -Dan
