Sure you might install fc6 just using the cds you need.. .but then you used yum and installed a game or two... and a little java.. and then a few -devel packages because you wanted to compile something up from srpm. 3 months later.... yer ready to install fc7.. have fun writing the comparative scripts to figure out which 'optional' cds you now need to download. Unless some in-distro tools are created to help work it out for you.. its going to be a huge frelling mess for a large class of users who want to upgrade from release to release. -jef
