That make a lot of sense. A new user who doesn't know about makemandb or sshd key generation will think the system is way slower than actually is. These processes are slow even on a 68060.

What is the difference between that repo and the "official" one? [1]. If I already installed packages from [1], can I switch to these ones. It is so nice to see fvwm there, although I was expecting version 2, not version 3.
