I'm going to try to give this a shot. Packages can be excluded, but be aware of the --ignoredeps/--resolvedeps/--ignoremissing flags to %packages, which decide how anaconda will react to missing dependencies. It *is* possible to remove some leaf-node packages from @Base and @Core, but I don't know of a quick'n'easy way to suggest for pruning. (At one point I had a notion to write a GUI tool for this, but I was befuddled by the rpm Python libs. Perhaps someone will chime in to point out the myriad dependency-tracking package management GUIs which already exist.) Cheers, Phil
