Are we saying that we are going to be happy with the idea that if extras spans 5 cd images while core spans 1... that its perfectly okay that users trying to use those 5 cd extra images will have to swap in those 5 cd images somewhat randomly to fill the dependancy chain? I thought part of the point of ordering images was to prevent the extra hassle of having to repeatedly go between cd1 and cd3 over and over again during the install process. Why would this be any different for Extras? And I'm also somewhat concerned that whatever mechanism is created to tie in Extras into the install/upgrade proces...that mechnism needs to be general enough to encompass 3rd party repos too. No hardwiring of extras into the default logic of firstboot or anaconda. No a priori knowledge of the groupings to expect on the extra cds, things like that. Whatever works with extras needs to work with things like intranet or 3rd party addon media, in a general way...including defined package groups outside of Core comps definition. -jef
