Description Alexander 2006-11-22 02:59:18 UTC

I've tryed to configure internet via pptp-command (during system installation) and found that there's only a symlink to perl5.8.8, but no exacutable. In the same iso but amd64 and in livecd-i686-installer-2006.1.iso there's that executable. Also I've not found it on x86-minimal-2006.0.

Bleh... apparently, at some point they switched to perl and we're removing it due to space reasons.  I guess we'll need to start keeping it or provide another tool capable of doing the same job.

OK, I've removed where we were removing perl in each spec in SVN...

This should be fixed in 2008.0
