Pretty mundane reasons: I have a slow connection so downloading is a drag, I
happen to have rh7.3 disks, sound is already compiled into the kernel, Netscape
is included, I have the rh8.0 disks so I can upgrade if I want OO and other
bells & whistles. Redhat is more of a multimedia system than 8.0. It's fat
enough to have goodies, but not fat enough that it runs slowly...
