To me this sounds an aggressive way from Redhat. Here's a constructive suggestion. Redefine "Core" to mean a true minimal install. I have a remote dedicated server that is running Fedora (fantasically) for example, that scenario is a great candidate for being "Core". No Xorg, try to shrivel package interdependencies to a much better minimum set. Then stick Xorg and everything else needed for a great desktop in "extras". Gnome and KDE are equal citizens then. Nobdoy can complain $DE is loved and the other is a stepchild. All the extra packages are installed by yum or equivalent once Core is installed and running, as a normal action. Packages installed should be the latest available from repos available, not the ones on install media, just like a real user using yum update. Nothing to stop Anaconda allowing package selection at the start of the install and automating the install action on the first reboot. - -Andy - -- Note: all HTML Email to me is rejected at the mailserver -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBA4aWjKeDCxMJCTIRAv9AAJ96qypmZlscqkEDrL9NXV4hqUexawCdGJMF eKHEihf9+G+UEAfLkjGMc3M= =mAJW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
