While I totally see value in this, and this is the way I usually set things up, why couldn't the (stripped down) @core, openssh-server openssh-clients, yum, and maybe lftp or links or something to hit web pages be the default install if you just click next/next/next. However having these packages on the CD and clickable at install time does add some value, you could pick at install time to just ask for apache and get what it needs, or just ask for mysql and get what it needs. Having them on the CD doesn't mean that they will all be installed by default. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
