Requesting a change to make removing printing easier seems like a good idea. I do have a question before we go that route though. Would using -@printing work to drop the printing stuff before the deps are brought in? > Ultimately I would like to get rid of the fedora-live-mini.ks file and > use the mainline base.

I believe the perferred state is that live-base would be preferred for minimial spins and alternate desktop enivorments, and normal spins would base off of livecd-desktop or live-desktop. So I think movement in that direction would be good. Again its getting late in the process for F14, but maybe some stuff get get done for this release and other prep work can be done so that we can get more changes into F15. -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
