that is a good idea!

also:
* drakups: for serial upses, a must!
* drakpxelinux: a must for people who do this, but it does need to be 
redesigned, because PXE installs don't even work anymore out of the box; the 
whole PXE stuff needs to be adjusted, imo.
* i think people still need drakfax, i heard someone talking about that
* never used drakvirt, but i hate redhat's tool.
