What I'm saying is that if there is a live workstation iso, then there should be also a full workstation iso that contains the development suite (as we know it from the recent past). I understand the development suite cannot/need not be included in the live iso, but it certainly can be included on a 4.3G dvd. And people can download the image and install without the media, as I've been doing for as long as that method has been available. This is just my preference, because I feel more comfortable having all the packages I need on my local disk first, then install from there, so I don't depend on the network during install. But, if the trend is to provide a minimal install, then I guess we'll just have to live with that. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
