   If you don't have applications that use the .NET Framework then don't =
install it.  That's what I suggest to people.  I make the same = suggestion
regarding Java.  Sun's Java download is not just unnecessary = if you don't
have an application to run.  It is unfriendly enough to = configure itself
to always run.
