I don't ever remember having to enable the web player on a setup
screen. I've also been migrating my db forward for 3-4 years, so maybe
it was set many years and many versions ago.
Even if a setup screen that I don't think I ever passed through does say
that, wouldn't it be better for the error message to actually indicate
what the problem is? <-- This phenomenon is responsible for driving
hordes of people away from Linux, and for those it doesn't, it makes
life harder. Should be something we strive to eradicate.
Additionally, an rpm dependency would still be sensible too, no?
