Yes, please. A base install is 666MB acording to anaconda. Almost half of which require immediate updating to get up-to-date. It just does not make sense to have this many packages in the base install. Some of the ones off the top if my head ( starting from a blamk package list in kickstart ) include FreeType and xorg-x11-libs. I need almost nothing since my post-install scripts just end up pulling down everything from our own mirror+custom repo's.Hi,
There was a thread a few days ago about the minimum size of fedora and the number of dependencies that the packages do have today.
Since seems to be too late for FC4, perhaps as a suggestion for FC5, please consider breaking the packages into smaller pieces so when we need package X it does not forces us to download a dozen of extra packages just to conform to it's dependencies.
Cheers, Eric
