I had discussed this with seth a few evenings ago as well. I suggested that a more 'correct' default install should have the following attributes: -- disable kernel* and perhaps glibc-* by default -- install with the cronned yum process off, requiring the administrator to chkconfig it on in a given runlevel -- pull, but not apply automatically non-signed packages or packages without a known signature already on file. Several things being addressed, but basically, working toward a goal of 'least surprise'. What else have I missed? -- Russ Herrold
