Hi, I just installed the development tree for the first time in a while yesterday, and was a bit surprised and disappointed to see that the firstboot step to install packages from "Extra" CDs was gone (which AFAIK has only ever been used in RHEL). Is it just temporary because of the changes to all the package related tools to use yum as a backend, or is this final? In FC4 it apparently didn't work anyway, so as long as system-cdinstall-helper is still there for installing the same stuff after firstboot, from nautilus using the "autorun" script, it's no big deal anyway. For those curious about why I'm concerned, it's because I've created (finally, I had that in mind for a looong while) a CD for FC4 i386 which includes all freshrpms.net packages, so that users with no or slow Internet connections can nevertheless easily install full-featured multimedia players etc. A bit more information here : http://lists.freshrpms.net/pipermail/freshrpms-list/2006-January/013758.html The current goal was to demonstrate the possibility of creating such a compilation of package, which is now done. But I really think that some specialized CDs (Games, Office, Desktops...) or a big fat DVD of snapshots of Fedora Extras packages would be really nice too...
