I spent a bit more time looking at this and am concluding we're dying the death of a lot of < 0.5meg cuts. Aside from our old friends, fonts: new package un-core-fonts-batang: 12971087 new package un-core-fonts-dotum: 7769083 new package un-core-fonts-gungseo: 6294199 new package un-core-fonts-dinaru: 3108519 I'm not qualified to evaluate these. Can someone with experience in localization evaluate whether the GNOME desktop coverage is enough to warrant shipping them? What I'm currently thinking is that the install image needs to be enough to bootstrap to a richer experience such as office tools or a development environment. We need some sort of post-install process that fills out the system with the parts we couldn't fit in the live image, and also suggests things such as OpenOffice. I think the right way to do this is comps; I'll take a look at how we might do this with PackageKit. -- Fedora-desktop-list mailing list Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
