PLEASE do not make a basic-install larger with something what maybe for someone nice, thats from a user which installs "bash-completion" on each machine after setup, there are people out there using other shells and the base-setup has to be as small as possible it hurts me that cross-dependencies and automatically installed services gettng larger and larger with every realease example: /dev/sdb1 ext4 6,0G 1,8G 4,2G 30% / this machine is only needed for netatalk, samba and gedit additionally to 3 admin-guis over X-Forwarding are installed system-config-users-1.2.107-1.fc14.noarch system-config-samba-1.2.90-1.fc14.noarch system-config-lvm-1.1.15-1.fc14.noarch 1.8 GB is really much for that usecase and it was a hard piece of work to get all away which is not needed somebody will come out now and telling me that disk-space is cheap these days without realizing that SAN-Storage is not cheap, having 20 virtual machines on a host muliplies the wasted space and the useless time for updates of packages never really used is forgotten too it's time to get a solution for soft-dependencies to get rid of packages with additional functionality possible not needed and the "everything should work for everybody" out of the box thoughts are making setups big with a small benefit for only some peopole while others are frustrated remember: every package/software/library which is not installed is not vulnerable!
