There is _nothing_ in the objectives about providing a minimal OS that pushes all the optional packages to Fedora Extras. It seems that a lot is being read into the word "Core" in the distribution that is not meant (at least according to the Fedora website). It also seems that some people want to push every package they don't personally use 20 times a day to Extras, despite the fact that many others use those packages and that there are not always good alternatives in the distribution. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
