I don't think this is incompatible with your plans, it just requires doing the work of dropping stuff in comps instead of in the kickstart. Why not drop these unwanted packages from gnome-desktop in comps, and add them to a new group, say gnome-extra? Then the user installing via DVD can check that group if he knows to do so and wants the full set, but by default, he'll get the same (or near the same) result as he would have using the live CD. What we're hoping to do is remove the arbitrary distinction between GNOME installed from the live CD and GNOME installed from the DVD. It'd be nice if the results were the same (or as close to the same as is politically possible -- hello rsyslog). > Maybe the Fedora workstation product will change these plans, but even > then I don't think 'just make it bigger' is the right answer. If you don't have enough space for evolution-help on the live CD, then I think that is sufficient justification to make it bigger.
