&gt; &gt; I&#39;ve asked previously if we want a firewall installed before summary, anne &amp;<br>
&gt; &gt; blino said it was OK<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Nice! And how is the user supposed to avoid installing a firewall with<br>
&gt; all those dependencies if he does not need it (ie if the firewall<br>
&gt; functions are handled by another device in the LAN?)? I see no sense<br>
&gt; having a firewall with all dependencies on all my machines in the LAN<br>
&gt; when there is a dedicated device/pc for this function. So why not<br>
&gt; leave that to the summary (or an extra question) during installer and<br>
&gt; then install the necessary packages according to the answer (yes or<br>
&gt; no)?<br>
