Because for other, established, usage cases that have seen significant discussion, having a lot of stuff you don't need installed has costs in terms of security and bandwidth consumption when doing things like updates. What you are doing is firmly outside of the usage cases for which any coherent plan has been even described let along attempted to be implemented as part of this project. A subproject to make everything or nearly everything installs work from a kickstart file or from a specialally designed spin doesn't sound like something that could not be done as part of F9 release prep. But there has to be people willing to drive this forward. Are you one of these people? You clearly care about the issue, but are you prepared to step up and chart a course to see improvement in a family of usage cases that matter to you? > Disk is cheap, time isn't. This statement goes against the fundamental axioms by which graduate students come into being. You just need more graduate students. -jef"is anyone working on a Fedora spin meant for cluster usage already?"spaleta -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
