I think the cleanest way to fix this is to have a post-installation program for the Live CD image which offers to "Complete your installation?" and does the PackageKit equivalent of yum groupinstall <corresponding comps group>. (This is another reason why the kickstart files should only be subtraction-for-space from a comps group). The Live CD should basically be enough to bootstrap and get a good feel for the system and do basic tasks. This also moves us much closer to having 1 defined set of things in the "installation" instead of two wildly different things which is really broken from a QA/marketing/etc. standpoint. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
