But there is a thing I don't like with Pirut. Pirut will always look on
the internet first, instead of looking into the CD/DVD media. That's a
feature which dial-up users won't like very much. The
system-config-packages tool worked only with CD/DVD media, which is much
better approach for dial-up users. All the users who have fast
connection to internet can always use Yum or Yumex for installing new
packages.
