Although the thread started with Stephen Pritchard making a comment, and I built upon them, ultimately I'm not in a position to even do so right now. Although I started with reducing Core, or reorganizing Core CD #1, that is no longer the case. So read on, I see your questions as very good ones. > or an additional, separate, package set in comps that you can > choose to install, in which case you happen to only need CD 1? Again, good questions. Here's the deal: 1. I'm creating a separate package set in comps.xml 2. I will use that package set to create a "Quark" CD 3. This CD will be well under the 500MB or so of packages one normally fits on a CD (plus the Anaconda installer) 4. I'm also (eventually) build a "Quark builder" so it is easy to build a "full" CD customized #1 Depending on the merits of "Quark," we _may_ then have: 5. The Fedora "Core" team may end up using "Quark" to create Fedora "Core" CD #1, including the additional sets from Quark's comps.xml But I'll leave that to when Fedora "Quark" is no longer vaporware. I've stepped back and recognized that everyone will disagree on what a "full" CD #1 should be. So that's why I've pulled back farther and came up with "Quark." I've been through the August/September 2003 archives and done some other goal setting. Which is where I came up with Fedora "Quark." It's not an "assumed functionality" as someone else said, because that differs between users. But it is a "common denominator" that _all_ derrived "assumed functionality" is built upon. I'm starting to look at some of the dependency hell. It has improved since I did some similar stuff back in RHL 7, but there are still a few "interesting" ones. You'll hear from me next when you hear from me next. But I'm not advocating the Fedora "Core" team or the project look at this again until *I* actually start producing more than vapor. I'm off the summer (I'm a school teacher) so I have the time. -- Bryan J. Smith, E.I. -- b.j.smith@xxxxxxxx
