With Fedora going to the "distributed" model, at what point do we start to try (if at all?) to "reduce" the size Fedore "Core" (FC)? I mean, is there a reason we need to maintain a 3+ CD set for FC, just as to match the "legacy" design of old Red Hat Linux (RHL)? I personally would like to see "Core" reduced to a _single_ binary CD. Maybe call it Fedora "miniCore" (FmC)?** Or maybe Fedora Quark (FQ)? I kinda like that better. But that is a larger issue for the steering committee. BTW, I hope I'm not the first one to suggest this? >From Steve's post, I assume not. -- Bryan J. Smith, "Lurker" **NOTE: This is just a suggestion. I'm not one to name things. In fact, I was first going to suggest Fedora "microCore" instead of Fedora "miniCore" but the common use of "u" as the character for "Mu" for "micro" produces a rather "intersting" acronym -- i.e., "FuC". ;-ppp -- Bryan J.
