Hum. This is actually kind of an interesting idea. If we could somehow encode the selected groups in the live image for anaconda to pass on to the installed system, the post-install tool could becomes fairly trivial and generic. All it has to do really is a 'yum/dnf groupinstall @installed_group_a @installed_group_b etc etc', and I think that should fill in any available 'missing packages' from the repositories, for a live or DVD install. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
