<Sure you can. In addition, if it's installed, and you don't want it to be, start swmgr as root, select 'Manage Installed Software', click the radio buttons next to 'IP Network Gateway Support', 'Internet Gateway Software Environment, 3.0', and go to town. BTW, you can also remove Netscape this way. >

You know I can not buy a SGI OS without Internet capability. The end user may be able to take the ability out, but this is the case with MSFT as well. Teh same with NSCP browser.

<You can run whatever window manager you want, and change icons until you're blue in the face. >

Yeah, but can I tell SGI I want this picture but not that one BEFORE it is shipped, especially if these are options that will degrade the OS. MSFT is the only vendor that is expected to offer "degrades" in thier OS.
