[caiman-discuss] environment

[John Sonnenschein]

forgive me if this has been discussed before, I couldn't find mention  
of it in the archives...

What's the problem with having an installer option such as "advanced"  
somewhere in the user setup section that would allow a user to choose  
what the default environment will be

What I'm getting at is a radio button which would set the defaults  
between GNU, Legacy and Standards-Compliant, the first of which would  
be what indiana ships with now ( /usr/gnu in the path ), the second  
would have /usr/bin at the head of the path, the third would have /usr/ 
xpg4 and so on at the head. Precise details are unimportant right now,  
but as a general idea, would something like this be acceptable ?

the only other option I can see is to fork indiana to get a legacy- 
compatible version
