Howdy -- Anaconda newbie, here -- been studying the docs/source (pkgorder, rpmmodule.c, depends.c, etc) to follow the process of establishing bootstrap install RPM ordering. Having trouble, though, reconciling an observation to the code. Installing "minimal" 8.0 (largely only Core, Base, Dial-up comps) yields this RPM install order on my system (from /root/install.log as well as rpm -qa --last): 1. glibc-common 2. hwdata 3. redhat-menus 4. setup 5. filesystem 6. basesystem ..... (so on) ...... Some docs speak of how basesystem should be the first installed, and its dependence (noted in comps file) on filesystem and in turn setup seems to make the order of 4, 5, and 6 make sense. However, looking over comps and basesystem, I'm missing why 1, 2, and 3 in particular would install first. Any pointers? Thanks much.
