I think a rational split is: 1) Base is the minimum required to bootstrap -- this should contain no more than necessary to install a minimal system from which one can install everything else. (This should include rpm, and arguably yum.) 2) Core is everything that is "expected" to be installed in a minimal environment as a matter of policy. selinux-policy probably belongs here. man, vi, traceroute, openssh -- a minimal functional environment. In other words, Base is a technical minimum, and Core is the social one. That makes Core much harder to nail down -- but easy to bump things from Base to Core. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
