Hi, it certainly is an interesting idea, but I am not sure how will other users react to two phase package installation (Yum takes quite some time to compute dependencies..). There is also one catch: To have a graphical firstboot, most of the Gtk/Gnome environment must be already present in the system. So I am afraid it is not quite doable with the current set of package groups. -- Martin Sivak Anaconda / Brno ----- Original Message ----- > > I am not sure how to proceed.
