The problem is known since before FC was born. Nicholas, these are very interesting ideas and it would be a shame for them to get burried in the list's archive. I don't know what the overhead/gain would be, but couldn't something like this also potentially save us space in the ISOs? Maybe it would be a good idea to put these kind of opinions/brainstormings on the wiki page à la live.gnome. Much better for future reference than list archives. -d -- Dimitris Glezos Jabber ID: glezos@xxxxxxxxxx, GPG: 0xA5A04C3B http://dimitris.glezos.com/ "He who gives up functionality for ease of use loses both and deserves neither."
