I guess for cds you would have to do something similar to debian and insert each cd/dvd at the start so that the repo metadata can be read. but then the install would offer all those packages. dvd would be simpler you dont need to worry about dependency order so much It could be a stepping stone to having a web script for instance that you could create your own iso with what you want on it. but right now im thinking it would be nice to make an extras iso. everyso often i have to do an install in a location that has crappy internet connection. and it would be much simpler to do from a local media. some parts of the world it will really help Dennis -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
