Mark everything in the core that is to be moved to Extras when the glorious day of CVS (or wahtever) occurs as deprecated, but ship it in FC3 as non-installed cd's. IE they are still there.. but make Cdrom 3/4 not part of the general install but in firstboot when other packages as asked to be installed. When Extras repository can be brought up and maintained (FC4/5 ?) then you can drop those cdroms and just focus on the core items. -- Stephen John Smoogen smoogen@xxxxxxxx Los Alamos National Lab CCN-5 Sched 5/40 PH: 4-0645 Ta-03 SM-1498 MailStop B255 DP 10S Los Alamos, NM 87545 -- "We cannot have a free government without elections; and if the -- rebellion could force us to forgo, or postpone, a national election, -- it might fairly claim to have already conquered us."
