Re: No gcc in desktop spin?

["Ashwin Hambarde" <ashwin.hambarde@xxxxxxxxx>]

I really think gcc is a must and that too a the complete version because many users have installed Fedora but don't have internet connection, sometimes so slow  that they can't YUM all the packages they need then it would be nice & easy for them to simply compile the old versions of tarballs they have. I am sure most of them would have build them a lot of time....Don't you think so ?
