Hi, I have a Desktop machine, a Netbook (with hard disk) and one Virtual machine all running Fedora 11 my install process is: - make a custom install in the netbook, - review all group packages and select and deselect based in the following criteria - leave all kde options selected , and select some more which I need - review the command line and graphical packages and deselect the ones which I don't need or and select some which I wll need reinstall the netbook via the kickstart created in the above procedure, tuning ( addind or substracting packages names) the kickstart file and reinstall again until the list of packages in the kickstart is created with the only ones which I selected to install and after that reinstall the desktop and the VM from it. ok I change the hostname and the size partitions but the list of packages is 98% equal for the three machines. So based in the above i prefer to install kde apps, and others which if the packages are splitted, maybe some apps will not selected to install by default, so I in that situation I will select each one manually so in my use case will be more complex. btw my /usr partitions are filled to 4.2G from a size of 12G but I don't have space constrains in my machines or maybe "meta packages" ( I don't if that is the correct name) will be created when the packages will be splitted, because when I tried to install koffice 2 from kde unstable I tried sudo yum install long list rpm packages of koffice2 and the process marked some as deprecated, in the list I saw a koffice-suite rpm package so I execute a: sudo yum install koffice-suite and it took care of install all rpms belonging to koffice2 Gabriel
